Find this place on a map!The Tutankhamun Exhibition

A little bit of Ancient Egypt in the heart of Hardy Country! The Tutankhamun Exhibition is a meticulously crafted recreation of the original Tutankhamun artefacts found when the pharoah's tomb was reopened in the early 20th century. The artefacts are displayed in an authentic model of the tomb chamber, as it looked in 1922 when archaeologist Howard Carter unearthed it.

The original King Tut treasures are at home in Egypt, but so exacting has been The Tutankhamun Exhibition in recreating the ambience of the boy-king's tomb, that the Exhibition has been used in several film and television documentaries about the pharoah and the discovery of his long-lost burial chamber.

Displays explore the history of ancient Egypt and the Pharoahs, gods and godesses, Tutankhamun's family, mummification, and the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. A gallery showcases copies of treasures found in the tomb, including the king's personal jewellery.

The Tutankhamun Exhibition is a permanent exhibition of the World Heritage Organisation.
