London prepares to welcome the treasures of the world's most famous pharaoh. Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered in Egypt in 1922. In 1972, 1.7 million guests visited the London Tutankhamun exhibition. Ever since that day in 1922, when Howard Carter first uncovered the magnificent treasures hidden within the Boy King's tomb, Tutankhamun has commanded the attention of the world. From those fabulous, iconic golden artefacts, to the mystery surrounding his death, burial and curse, we are irresistibly drawn to a story that lay buried for more than 3,000 years.
The Tutankhamun Exhibition last visited the UK in the 1970s on a tour that became a global sensation, shattering attendance records worldwide. Over 1.6 million people eventually visited the exhibition in a wave of enthusiasm that has yet to be surpassed - until now. Thirty years on, we have our last chance to see these stunning works of art before they return to the Cairo Museum, where they will, in all likelihood, remain. It is doubtful that these celebrated artefacts will ever touch UK soil again. Now, after more than 30 years, the treasures of Tutankhamun return to London one last time for the most anticipated exhibition ever.
Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs is at The O2from 15 November 2007 to 30 August 2008. Tickets - Tickets for individuals and groups of less than ten people will go on sale in June 2007. Hotel packages including tickets, and group bookings are available now. The exhibition's unique appeal to such a wide audience makes it the perfect setting in which to entertain clients, colleagues and friends. Tutankhamun Hospitality, a joint venture between the exhibition organisers (National Geographic, AEG Exhibitions and Arts and Exhibitions International) and Hospitality in Partnership, will create a dedicated hospitality suite, The Pharaohs' Palace, inside The O2 with direct private access to the Exhibition itself.
London's hottest new entertainment venue opens in July. The O2 (previously the Millennium Dome) will host top musicians, sporting events and more in a state-of-the-art indoor arena.
A huge Entertainment District at The O2 will house numerous restaurants, bars and shops. See Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs in the impressive exhibition space from November 2007.
Without doubt, this new exhibition - "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" - will create the same sensational headlines and media frenzy as it did some thirty years ago. This will be the "must see" event of 2007/8. The O2 is located in Greenwich, within easy reach of Central London. Plan your journey with Transport for London: www.tfl.gov.uk
