Tutankhamun, history of a discovery Nowadays, almost a century later from the discovery of the burial chamber of the boy-pharaoh in the Valley of the Kings, the figure of Tutankhamun continues captivating us as on the first day. For this reason, Musguide alongside the Egyptian Museum of Barcelona bring you at this pharaoh's life, shrouded in mystery, with an exhibition that pays tribute to his figure. The adventures of the archaeological team, both during the course of the expedition as well as later, have a very important role in this exhibition.

In addition, this exhibition also addresses the media coverage generated by the discovery, with extracts of press of the time as well as the discussions that generated the different readings of the life, work and death of pharaoh, and even the supposed curse that pursued different team members that entered the room where the coffin is located.

All this is illustrated with a number of pieces of the museum, to extend aspects of the environment of Tutankhamun, and also they are representative of a wide variety of objects that the Egyptians put in their graves.
