More than 160 Tutankhamun treasures have arrived at the Grand Egyptian Museum
More than 160 treasures from the tomb of King Tutankhamun have been transferred from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo to the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, ahead of its long-awaited opening on 3 July. The items include a ceremonial chair inlaid with ivory and gold and an accompanying footstool decorated with gilded motifs. The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities states the move is part of a plan to display the entire Tutankhamun collection together for the first time. The famous golden mask and golden coffins remain at the Cairo museum for now and will be the last items moved.
