Tutankhamun, His Tomb and His Treasures recreated the treasures from the time of the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Three of the chambers found in the Boy King’s burial tomb were identically reconstructed based on sketches and notes made by Howard Carter and images taken by Harry Burton, the expedition’s photographer. These chambers displayed reproductions of the most sumptuous objects including jewels, amulets, cases, chairs, weapons, a sensational golden chariot, enormous gilded shrines and, of course, King Tut’s famous death mask.

The replicas were produced by the best Egyptian craftsmen and approved by internationally renowned scientists and Egyptologists. Multimedia presentations allowed visitors to delve into the religious and cultural traditions of ancient Egypt. Ninety years after its discovery, Tutankhamun’s tomb was revealed once again, allowing visitors to relive the moment at Amsterdam EXPO.
