So what I will do is just highlight a few of my favourite items starting with this drinking cup which was one of the first things that Carter saw once the tomb was opened. Photos as you can see are allowed which is always a nice change though bear in mind that the exhibition is very busy, even with a timed and staggered entry but most people were very polite and accommodating and everyone was given a chance to get close to the cases. I won’t rehash the history of the discovery of the tomb – the exhibition gives a very good overview and whilst I think the souvenir guide was a tad too expensive at £15 it is very beautiful and well written. In 2022 it will be 100 years since Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered and this tour of treasures from the tomb which is visiting cities around the world is to celebrate both that and the construction of the Grand Egyptian Museum where all of these items will return, many of which have never been outside of Egypt before.
