A treasure trove of Egyptian artefacts found in Tutankhamun's tomb is being shipped to London where it will be showcased in the UK for the last time. Some 160 artefacts will form the Treasures Of The Golden Pharaoh exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery from November 2, 2019 to May 3, 2020. Egyptologist Dr Chris Naunton said: 'Visitors to the exhibition, when it arrives in London, are going to see a cleverly-selected series of items relating to Tutankhamun's life. Among the items display are a life-sized wooden guardian statue of the king and a miniature canopic coffin that formed part of the mummification process. Previous London-based exhibitions of objects from Tutankhamun's tomb in 1972 and 2007 drew huge crowds and, due to high demand for the forthcoming show, the organisers have announced extended morning and evening session tickets for the opening weeks of the exhibit.
