A journey through time – to the mysterious world of Ancient Egypt

The exhibition Tutankhamen – His Tomb and his Treasures makes the marvel of the moment – entering an overwhelming treasure trove, discovering new worlds and new wonders – accessible to visitors as an experience for all the senses. Using state-of-the-art technology, the exhibition evokes the fascination of the bygone exotic empire on the Nile.

The tomb of Tutankhamen with its treasures has been faithfully reconstructed to scale, giving visitors a realistic impression of the overwhelming opulence of the offerings that were supposed to serve the king on his magical journey into the Underworld. More than 1,000 replicas of the most important finds have been reconstructed by the finest Egyptian craftsmen using traditional techniques, and can be admired at the exhibition.

State-of-the-art multimedia technology has been employed to provide information and a vivid illustration of the culture and spiritual world of the ancient Egyptians – their cult of the dead, deities, dynasties, and mysterious hieroglyphic script. Of course, the focus of the exhibition lies on Tutankhamen himself.
