TUTANKHAMUN – Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh


MUSÉE de LA VILLETTE, Paris 2019

Many years after the first exhibition dedicated to King Tut at The Grand Palais in Paris, a second exhibition is being held in the City of Lights in 2019. This major international event is hosted at Musée de La Villette in conjunction with Le Louvre and of course the Grand Egyptian Museum.
This new exhibition brings a new light on the treasures found in the young Pharaoh's tomb. It is a retrospective of British archaeologist Howard Carter's discovery nearly 100 years ago and a display of some of the magnificent works of art found in the burial.
