Meeting with King Tut: As a result of the quantity and spectacular appearance of the burial goods, the tomb attracted a media frenzy and became the most famous find in the history of Egyptology.

Tutankhamun became one of the best-known pharaohs, and some artefacts from his tomb, like the golden funerary mask, are among the best-known artworks from ancient Egypt.

The tomb of Tutankhamun, tomb number KV62 in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, is the burial place of the youngest Pharaoh King Tutankhamun who reigned c. 1334–1325 BC.

Besides the king’s Mummy, the tomb contains his coffin, furniture, clothing, jewellery and over 5,000 items. which gives an insight into the material culture of wealthy ancient Egyptians Pharaohs, despite the relatively small tomb due to the premature death of Tutankhamun.

The Grand Egyptian Museum will have a dedicated area to exhibit all the belongings of King Tutankhamun all in one place for the first time in history.
