Mostra Tut: prossima tappa a Vienna

The exhibition Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of Pharaohs is currently at the O2 in London, U.K. but will move in March to Vienna’s Ethnology Museum in Austria.

The golden sarcophagus of Egyptian pharaoh Tut-Ank-Amen will be on display in an exhibit of 150 items from the tombs of ancient Egypt’s rulers at Vienna’s Ethnology Museum beginning on March 9. British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the sarcophagus in Luxor’s Valley of the Kings in 1922 after it had lain undisturbed for some 3,300 years. Kunsthistorisches Museum Director Wilfried Seipl said that the ruler had died of natural causes at the age of 20. Egyptian Tourism Minister Zoheir Garranah will visit Vienna shortly before the exhibit opens.
