The Tutankhamun Exhibition
High West Street, Dorchester
IN 1922 Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon discovered the nearly intact tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty.
Step into the recreation of Tutankhamun's tomb in this museum, which has also recreated Tutankhamun's major treasures. It shows the moment the golden coffins were removed from the sarcophagus.
The Tutankhamun Exhibition in Dorchester was the first exhibition outside Egypt to feature an exact anatomical recreation of Tutankhamun's mummy.
The mummy took over two years of research and experimentation to recreate, following x-rays and measurements of Tutankhamun's mummy.
The Tutankhamun Exhibition features amongst many wonderful treasures: The Golden Mask of Tutankhamun, The Golden Throne of Tutankhamun, Tutankhamun's mummy. The Golden figure of Tutankhamun the Harpooner. A selection of Tutankhamun's jewels is also displayed.
