TUTANKHAMUN – His Tomb and His Treasures can currently be seen in three parallel exhibition productions across the world. Over 2.5 million people have marvelled the exhibition in Europe, where it has been acclaimed by the public and press alike. In Germany alone, 1.3 million people have visited - in Munich, Hamburg and, most recently, in Cologne. From autumn 2011, the Pharaoh will be making a tour stop in the Main metropolis of Frankfurt. Centrally located in downtown Frankfurt, over an area on the Mainzer Landstrasse, this is the first time an exhibition hall has been specifically designed and built for TUTANKHAMUN – His Tomb and His Treasures.
A sensational discovery 89 years ago turned the unknown pharaoh Tutankhamun into a superstar. In 1922, the archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the burial chambers of the ancient Egyptian king with their vast treasures – an event that caused a worldwide sensation. The story of Tutankhamun fascinates people to this day. His mysterious, premature death and unique legacy are the stuff of legend.
The exhibition shows the world’s only museum-quality replica of mankind’s most fascinating tomb and its treasures. Now, for the first time, after 89 years it offers the opportunity to visit the tomb three-dimensionally in its original state. Welcome to the Valley of Kings in
