Tutankhamun. History of a discovery | Gencat Cultural Agenda

Exhibition message:

• “In November 1922, an archaeological discovery made the world look towards a remote corner of Egypt where some of its most important pharaohs had been buried. Today, the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings continues to captivate humans.”
• “With the Tutankhamun exhibition. History of a discovery the Egyptian Museum of Barcelona pays tribute to this authentic archaeological adventure through spaces dedicated to its protagonists, the working methods that were followed or the media impact that the discovery generated. All without leaving aside topics that have promoted intense debates such as the origin of the king himself, the causes of his death or the existence of a terrible curse. An important number of pieces in the Museum illustrate certain aspects of the child king’s environment, while at the same time they are representative of a wide variety of objects with which the Egyptians endowed their tombs.”
