Tutankhamun - His Tomb and His Treasures
RDS February 17, 2011 - July 24, 2011
Coming to Ireland is an enchanting exhibition that allows visitors to experience ‘first hand' the moment archaeologist Howard Carter entered the treasure-laden burial chambers of Egypt's most famous Pharaoh, Tutankhamun.
‘Tutankhamun - His Tomb and His Treasures' carries visitors on a captivating journey through time into the lost wonders of ancient Egypt and reveals the epic story of the discovery of the forgotten tomb of the ‘Boy King' who died under mysterious circumstances aged only 19.
Over 2,500 square metres of exhibition space and state-of-the-art multimedia technology will bring to life the story of Tutankhamun and the fascinating cultural and spiritual world of ancient Egypt; its funerary cults, gods and mysterious hieroglyphic script.
Replicas of 1,000 burial artefacts, intended to equip the young Pharaoh on his journey to the afterlife, have been painstakingly reproduced to scale by expert Egyptian craftsmen and can be viewed in the recreated burial chambers and in an extensive and detailed display.
