Abstract:

 





The fiftieth anniversary of the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb by
Carter and Carnarvon was celebrated at the British Museum in 1972 by an
exhibition “the Treasures of Tutankhamun”. Fifty items from
Tutankhamun’s collection were selected to be displayed on this occasion in
London; seventeen pieces were being displayed outside Egypt for the first time.
The exhibition had a humanitarian purpose as it helped in the heritage
conservation in Egypt; its proceeds were devoted to the UNESCO fund project for
moving the temples of Philae to a higher ground. Special Agreements were signed
between the British and the Egyptians regarding the exhibition items and its
security.
