Tutankhamun Exhibition at the British Museum in 1972: A Historical Perspective
Abstract
The fiftieth anniversary of the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb by Carter and Carnarvon was celebrated at the British Museum in 1972 by an exhibition “the Treasures of Tutankhamun”. Fifty items from Tutankhamun’s collection were selected to be displayed on this occasion in London. This article focuses on the importance of this exhibition, the inter-government negotiations regarding the Egyptian Government approval of displaying those items at the British Museum, the security measures, the exhibition publicity, its unveiling and its visitors’ intensity.
