Tutankhamun at The O2 Centre
The biggest exhibition of Egyptian artefacts since 1972 has landed at the O2 Centre in Greenwich


Tutankhamun reigned during the 18th Dynasty (c. 1550-1307BC) when the Egyptian Empire was at its height. This exhibition - Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs - explores the amazing artefacts and monuments of the period and traces the history of the royal family.
The 18th Dynasty saw many of Ancient Egypt's greatest rulers and most famous characters, names such as Amenhotep, Thutmosis, Hatshepsut, Akhenaten and Nefertiti live on.
The exhibition is expected to be a big hit this and next year, with over 1,000,000 visitors expected between now and August, with over 400,000 tickets already sold.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
