Egypt’s Cabinet approves request for re-opening Tutankhamun’s exhibition in London

CAIRO – 17 June 2020: The Egyptian Cabinet approved the request submitted by the organizers of the Tutankhamun exhibition "Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh" held in the Saatchi Gallery in London to reopen the exhibition.

The submitted request asked for the re-opening of the exhibition in the same hall to compensate for the 44-day period during which the exhibition was closed, as the exhibition was scheduled to conclude on April 30.

The exhibition was closed by the British authorities on March 18, as part of the precautions to combat the emerging novel virus.
