Following its showing in Paris where it became France’s most attended exhibition of all time with over 1.4 million visitors, organisers of TUTANKHAMUN: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh presented by Viking Cruises have extended hours for the opening weeks of the upcoming London exhibit due to high demand and sell-outs.

Produced by the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities and IMG, the exhibition will run from 2 November 2019 – 3 May 2020 at Saatchi Gallery. Visitors will explore the life of King Tutankhamun and the storied discovery that captivated the world, through more than 150 authentic pieces from the tomb – three times the quantity that has travelled in previous exhibitions – more than 60 of which are travelling outside of Egypt for the first time. At the conclusion of the tour, the artefacts will go on permanent display at the Grand Egyptian Museum.
