"When my eyes got used to the light, the details of the room slowly emerged from the gloomy, strange animals, statues and gold, everywhere the flicker of gold." Howard Carter On November 4, 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter made an extraordinary discovery in the Valley of the Kings: the tomb of Tutankhamun, Pharaoh of the XVIII Egyptian Dynasty, in the 14th century BC. The exhibition "Tutankhamun, the treasure of the Pharaoh" celebrates the centenary of the discovery of the royal tomb by bringing together exceptional masterpieces. Fifty years after "the exhibition of the century" - which had gathered more than 1.2 million visitors in 1967 in Paris - it is a unique opportunity to rediscover the history of the most famous Pharaohs before the permanent installation of the artifacts within the new Egyptian Grand Museum currently under construction.
