Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs
Until Aug 30 2008 The O2, Peninsula Square, SE10
Treasures from the tomb of Tutankhamun that have not been seen in the UK since 1972. The exhibition also features artefacts buried with the pharaoh's relatives around 3,000 years ago. Visitors will be able to see Tutankhamun's crown and gold and precious stone-inlaid coffinettes that contained his mummified organs, but the king's famous death mask is not among the exhibits. One gallery is dedicated to Howard Carter, the British archaeologist who discovered the tomb. .
