Tutankhamun Exhibition FAQs

Tutankhamun Exhibition Content

What does the exhibition include?

The exhibition includes approximately 130 objects from the tomb of Tutankhamun and other Valley of the Kings Ancestors, compared to approximately 50 items that appeared in the first exhibition.

Is the death mask in the exhibition?

The death mask is not allowed to leave Egypt and therefore is not included in the exhibition. There is no re-creation of the death mask within the exhibition as the exhibition only contains authentic artifacts. The canopic coffinette is very similar artistically to the mask and is featured in the exhibition.

Are the objects the same as the 1970s exhibition?

Most of the 130 objects in the current exhibition have never before been seen in the UK. Only seven of the items are repeat items from the 1970s event.

How is the exhibition presented?

The collection is presented in eleven different galleries, each with its own backdrop and 'thematics'.
