In November 1922, an archaeological discovery turned the world's attention to a remote corner of Egypt where some of its most important pharaohs had been buried. Today, the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings continues to captivate people. With the exhibition Tutankhamun. History of a Discovery, the Museu Egipci de Barcelona pays tribute to this extraordinary archaeological adventure through spaces devoted to its protagonists, the working methods used and the media impact generated by the discovery. It also addresses subjects that have prompted intense debate, such as the king's own origins, the causes of his death and the existence of a terrible curse. A significant number of pieces from the Museu illustrate aspects of the boy king's world while also representing the wide variety of objects with which Egyptians furnished their tombs.
