Tutankhamun's gold belongings to exhibit soon

CAIRO – 2 November 2017: The Grand Egyptian Museum is preparing for the exhibition of Tutankhamun’s gold belongings starting Saturday, November 4.

The exhibition is a celebration of the 95th anniversary of the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922.

Aiming to attract tourists, the exhibition will use many attractive display methods. The exhibition hall is 7,500 square meters, spacious enough to display 5,000 pieces of Tutankhamun’s gold artifacts.

The gold mask of Tutankhamun is a magnificent piece of art, which still attracts tourists from all over the world.

The treasures of King Tutankhamun have been exhibited in the Egyptian Museum located in Tahrir Square since their discovery inside the tomb of King Tutankhamun in 1922, in the Valley of Kings on the western bank of Luxor.

Despite his short reign, Tutankhamun is one of the most celebrated ancient Egyptian kings. The British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the tomb on November 4, 1922.

It was the first tomb to keep its contents away from thieves.
