For the first time, the complete treasures of King Tutankhamun will be displayed together in one place. More than 5,000 artifacts belonging to the Golden Pharaoh will be showcased inside the Grand Egyptian Museum, which will officially open on November 1, and welcome the public starting November 4.
Among the most anticipated exhibits is the golden coffin of the young king himself, unseen since Howard Carter discovered it in his tomb in 1922.
Another highlight is the rare floral necklace, one of Tutankhamun’s most precious treasures, kept in storage for over 90 years before a meticulous team of conservators restored it to its original splendor using fine linen threads that bring back the brilliance it once had in the days of the pharaohs.
The King Tut Gallery inside the museum has been fitted with the latest display and lighting technology across an impressive 7,500 square meters, ready to showcase his golden coffins, chariots, and royal jewelry — each piece shining as it tells its timeless story.
