Tutankhamun at the O2

[missjef]

does anyone know what exactly will be on display at this exhibition? i have looked on the official website and that doesnt really say exactly.. One other website said that the death mask will not be there since it cannot leave Egypt... but on the 02 website the way they have written about it makes it sound like the mummy of Tutankhamun will be there! any help would be appreciated! thankyou x

The mummy and the death mask are two different things.

I think I have read somewhere the mask will NOT be there, but they have used the mask in the adverts which is cheating a bit.

Hi - I'm hoping it will be a good exhibition as I've already booked my tickets! The death mask will not be there this time (it was in London at the 1973 exhibition) but I'm hoping there will be a replica.
