Art - Tutankhamun exhibition in Hamburg extended until Easter Monday

Due to popular demand, the multimedia exhibition"Tutankhamun" in Hamburg will be extended until Easter Monday (April 1). Since the opening at the beginning of November, 80,000 tickets have already been sold, according to the organizers. In the show, images, videos and animations are projected onto three-dimensional objects. Audio recordings with the original voice of British archaeologist Howard Carter can also be heard. Part of the show is told from the first-person perspective of the child king Tutankhamun.

The discovery of the magnificently furnished, almost unplundered tomb of the young pharaoh Tutankhamun on November 4, 1922, made the Briton world-famous overnight. At the age of nine, Tutankhamun ascended the Egyptian throne in 1332 BC as one of the last kings of the 18th dynasty. He died unexpectedly around ten years later. The sarcophagus, the world-famous death mask, drawings and sketches and a few small original treasures from Tutankhamun's time can be explored.
