Tutankhamun exhibition
One of the most spoken about exhibitions has stopped in Munich for a few months: The Tutankhamun exhibition, showing the treasures that have been found in the pharao's tumb. 2008 in London, the exhibition is now installesd in the Olympia Park in Munich, in the former olympic velodrom.
Depsite the entrance price that would prevent many of us to go (19€), this exhibition is worth seeing. For several reasons:
- you get to see all the treasures that were found in Tutankhamun's tumb when it was discovered by Howard Carter in 1900. And once the exhibition is over, they will all go back to Cairo, where they are to never go out again. So the exhibition is unique
- the scenography is splendid. the path is well constructed, triggering increasing interest of the visitor to its climax, at the end, where you can see THE mask.
- information given in the exhibition is rich and interesting
- and last but not least, the pieces you are given to see are breathtaking. 3000 years old, and almost intact. Full of gold. And the sarcophage intact, with the momy inside, is very impressive
In a word ... GO
