Tutankhamun - His tomb and its treasures

Last weekend we visited the Tutankhamun Exhibition in Zurich: http://www.tut-ausstellung.com/home-englisch.html

The centrepiece of the exhibition are the accurate, full-size reproductions of the child king TUTANKHAMUN's burial chambers exactly as they were discovered. Visitors to the tomb can see the burial chambers just as they were when Howard Carter uncovered them in 1922.
The exhibition contains dozens of replica funerary objects painstakingly recreated by Egyptian craftsmen, as well as a reconstruction of the opened treasure chests, which remain closed in the tomb itself.
