King Tut Exhibition | Los Angeles, CA

To celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb, the California Science Center presents KING TUT: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh. The tomb was first discovered by British archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter in 1922, which was more than 3,000 years after his death. 

The exhibit features more than 150 artifacts from the young king's tomb, many of which were actually used by him in both life and death. Those artifacts comprise items like gold jewelry, gilded wood furniture and "ornate ritual objects". Nearly half of the items on display will be leaving Egypt for the first and last time.

Visitors can follow King Tut as he journeys from death through the underworld to find his place in the afterlife, learning how each burial artifact was used to assist him in his life-after-death journey. 

The exhibition started on March 24 and will stay open until January 2019, which is when the exhibit will head to Europe.
