Life, Death and the Afterlife
A boy king, a tomb untouched for three thousand years, and a face the whole world recognises. Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh gathers jewellery, vessels and ritual objects around the story of a short life and an elaborate death.
Follow the journey from palace to tomb: what Tutankhamun owned, what he was given for the road, and what the ancient embalmers believed each object would do for him.
The Mask Room
Come face to face with the golden mask in a quiet, low-lit chamber built for one object — timed entry keeps it intimate.
Gold of the Palace
Rings, collars and daggers show how gold worked as money, medicine and magic in the New Kingdom court.
Packed for Eternity
Games, linen, food and forty pairs of sandals: the practical packing list for the afterlife, explained piece by piece.
