In 1972 over 1.8 million people went to see Tutankhamun’s treasures when the exhibition visited London, it was the most successful exhibition in the capital's history. Now after more than 30 years, this stunning and mysterious exhibit is returning to the UK for a limited period and will be on show in “The 02 Bubble”, a superb new exhibition space at the O2 Arena. Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs is a spellbinding exhibition featuring over 130 Ancient Egyptian treasures. The dazzling objects on display come from Tutankhamun's tomb, other Valley of the Kings burials and additional Egyptian sites.
