In fact, the 150 objects in this exhibition will retire to the Grand Egyptian Museum near the Great Pyramid at the end of this last world tour. It is also important to highlight that this is the last time a Tutankhâmon’s exhibition will leave the monumental Egyptian Museum in Cairo. These were possible with the help of modern technology such as CT-scan and DNA analysis in Egyptological research. The exhibition will also present the recent discoveries about Tutankhâmon’s life and death, his family and his treasures. The exhibition is designed to allow visitors to accompany the golden pharaoh on his magical trip to the afterlife. These objects are listed as masterpieces of ancient art. This exhibition is however, the largest Tutankhâmon’s collection to leave Egypt. Over the years following the discovery, Egypt has only allowed a few objects from the Tutankhâmon’s treasure to travel abroad to tour the world. There is a reason why this exhibition is of significance. This exhibition is presented by the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities and IMG, in collaboration with the Louvre in an advisory role. Of the objects presented at La Villette, most of them in 24 carats gold, have no ostentatious function but correspond more intimately to the high level of spirituality of this civilisation. More than 50 items are visible for the first time outside of Egypt. On until 15 September 2019, the exhibition has curated a collection,which features more than 150 original artefacts from Tutankhâmon’s tomb including a number of young Tut’s personal objects that accompanied him in both life and death: gold jewellery, sculptures and ceremonial objects. Commemorating the 100 years of the discovery of this important tomb, France is hosting a rare exhibition of the treasures of the tomb, ‘TOUTANKHÂMON – LE TRÉSOR DU PHARAON’ at Grand Halle de la Villette, Paris. The boy king who walked the planet some 3200 years ago, Toutankhâmon went on to become the most famous of the Egyptian pharaohs, after the discovery of his untouched tomb on 4th November 1922 by the British archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter.The international media hailed it as “the Discovery of the 20th century”.
