Dorset is perhaps not the place you'd expect to find a piece of Egypt! The Tutankhamun Exhibition is an accurate recreation of King Tut's tomb as it appeared when Howard Carter rediscovered it in 1922. You can imagine that you are Carter himself, making one of the great archaeological discoveries of all time. So accurate is the recreation that the Tutankhamun Exhibition has been used as a film and documentary setting on numerous occasions.
