Tutankhamon at the Casal Solleric

Until September 17, at the Casal Solleric in Palma, the exhibition "Tutankhamon: Imatges d'un tresor sota el desert egipci" can be visited. This exhibit, that has the support of the Palma Town Council and sponsorship by QDQ, is the initiative of the Clos Archeological Foundation in Barcelona, which has the collaboration of the Griffith Institute-Ashmolean Museum of Art in Oxford and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The exhibition is based on the diary of the excavation by Howard Carter, who discovered Tutankhamon's tomb in 1922, and the photos of his companion Harry Burton. In the tomb all kinds of ritual and personal objects belonging to the Egyptian Pharaoh were found, buried over three thousand years ago.
