Tutankhamun, what an exiting name, the legendary mummy with the golden mask and the massive treasures found in his tomb by Carter.
The exhibition of king Tut can be seen at Cairo national museum as now before it will be moved and at display in the new grand museum in Giza.(another post for this grand place)
National Egyptian museum located in a beautiful pink building at Tahir square in central Cairo hosts some of the biggest collection of Egyptian treasures as it should be, and I also believe that all worlds museum should give back Egypt items that was stolen from here, it belongs to Egypt and Egyptian people, but at the same time when you visit this pink marvel you realize how dirty, not maintained and unorganized this place is, its Egypt in a nut shell, they don't care about anything, way of thinking and way of doing, its very sad to see and not nice at all, but some of Tuts items are on display and should not be missed.
On the other hand the 3D Tut extravaganza at the partly opened grand museum is worth a visit, it explains very well king Tuts voyage in life and afterlife, please book a guide there, its so mush better and worth it.
