Tutankhamun is thought to have been eight years old when he became the king of Egypt around BCE. He reigned for about nine years before his sudden and mysterious death as a teenager. Some have suggested he was murdered by a blow to the head but recent studies have shown the king was suffering from a broken leg which became infected before he died. His tomb was discovered in near perfect condition by archaeologist Howard Carter in A total of , people visited Museum Victoria venues during the holiday, including the Immigration Museum with its West Africa: Rhythm and Spirit exhibition and Scienceworks, which attracted more than 33, visitors.

There is a pushchair park next to the cloakroom, as pushchairs are not allowed in the exhibition. Highclere Castle Hampshire and the Egyptian Exhibition. The park has one of the largest concentrations of cultural venues in Paris, the Grande Halle being one of them.
Built between and , this striking cast iron and glass building was until the mid s an abattoir. Now a popular venue for trade fairs, exhibitions and music festivals. Visitors to the Paris edition of the King Tut exhibition were also treated to a statue from the Louvre's collection: their statue of the god Amun protecting Tutankhamun.
When the exhibition closed on 22 September 1,, people had seen "Tutankhamun: The Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh" during its six month run in Paris. Not only was this an increase on the previous Tutankhamun exhibition in the French capital , it is also a new turn-out record for cultural exhibitions in France. Having visited over countries on six of the seven continents I am often surprised by the limited information available for archaeological sites in many travel guides. With my passion for travel and professional background in archaeology, I started Archaeology Travel.
Here I share my experiences of seeing truly spectacular places, as well as offering my tips and recommendations. Other websites and guides may appear to cover more areas and attractions, but the information on this website is based on first-hand experiences, not copied from other, sometimes misleading sources.
Read More About Archaeology Travel. Just returned from visit to London to see the Tutankhamun exhibition. All I can say is that it was fantastic, better than our visit to Cairo in Well done London for a fantastic display.
Actually, to the moderators completely disregard the first comment. Now im just going to be extremely upset I didnt hear about this sooner. We have just visited the london exhibition. It was extraordinary, brilliantly done and well organised.
Well worth a visit. Do you know of a website we can go to and see all the artifacts in this exhibit for those that cannot travel to the cities listed? No, unfortunately I do not Tom. A list of the objects included in the exhibition has not been released, not one that I can find anyway.
Only a few photographs have been released for press use. Forty years ago I attended the King Tut exhibition in Seattle. It was wonderful.
I want my family to see it on this current agenda. Where is the closest location and the date for this final tour? Provided I can afford it. By all accounts this one is just as good! Unfortunately, at this time further dates and venues for this tour have not been released. As soon as we have the information, we will update this page. No other details are available of future venues.
But I doubt very much there will be any further stops in the UK. Travelled from the south of France especially to see this exhibition. So disappointed … you are greedy people. There were many people at the exhibit, we could not even get to see the exhibits. Also prebooked a time and still had to wait in a hour long queue just to get the entrance door.
Saw this exhibition a few years Ago in Zurich … it was wonderful. What happened … profit before quality? Maureen Greenwood. First, I am sorry to ready you had a bad experience visiting the exhibition in Paris. But I hasten to add, we at Archaeology Travel have nothing to do with the organising of this tour.
Also I should clarify for other readers, this is not the same exhibition as the one that was in Zurich, That was an exhibition of replicas, not the original artefacts. While I have only heard good things about the exhibition, it does not surprise me that there are problems with numbers.
It is all very well having timed entrances to an exhibition, but you can never predict how long people will take to go through the exhibit. On balance, I think I would rather wait a bit longer than be hurried through the exhibition. I saw the first King Tut travelling show in Los Angeles over 40 years ago.
It was spectacular. I was totally unaware of this presentation currently on tour. I live in Raleigh NC. Will the tour be anywhere near my location. I would pay anything to see it once again. As soon as they are, we will add the details to this page. Exact dates have not been released. As soon as they are, we will add the information to this page. No details have been released about further venues. As soon as we get these, this page will be updated.
