Interpretive displays explain Tutankhamun’s life, the archaeological discovery, burial traditions, religious beliefs, mummification, and the meaning of selected treasures.
Self-Paced Exploration
Visitors can move through at their preferred speed and spend additional time with the rooms, objects, and audio narration that interest them most.
