About the Exhibition
From November 15th 2007 to August 30th 2008 at The O2 in London you can see for yourself the wonderful treasures that greeted Howard Carter and his expedition team 85 years ago.
The exhibition, Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs will be the last time many of these artefacts appear in the UK before they return to the Cairo Museum - catch them while you can!
You’ll see over 130 of the ancient Egyptian treasures from both Tutankhamun’s tomb, and his ancestors in the Valley of the Kings, dating back more than 3000 years! You’ll also find out all about the young boy’s life as a king, and his death. It’s a chance for a glimpse into a magical age, an inspiring journey through the explorers’ discovery in 1922 and the last opportunity to step into an ancient world that will take your breath away…
