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.
