Tutankhamun's Treasure Hunt
Tutankhamun Treasure Chamber
The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings, by Howard Carter, in 1922 has been described as the world's greatest discovery of ancient treasure. Now children visiting the internationally renowned Tutankhamun Exhibition can go on their own Treasure Hunt over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend, with the chance of winning 'treasure' for themselves. The Tutankhamun Exhibition is now in its 21st year in Dorchester and continues to enthral and excite people's imagination.
Tim Batty, the exhibition's manager, said. "Children explore the innovative Tutankhamun Exhibition and become 'archaeological detectives' in a bid to solve the puzzle of the missing treasure. All those who correctly follow the clues and crack the code can enter a prize draw. One lucky person each day will win a Tutankhamun mummy case with a mummy inside. The Treasure Hunt is being held throughout the Spring Bank Holiday weekend from Saturday 24th May to Monday 26th May."
The Tutankhamun Exhibition dramatically recreates the moment of discovery of the tomb. Visitors walk through the ante-chamber filled with its treasures and enter the burial chamber to see Howard Carter raising the coffins from the sarcophagus. In the Treasury some of Tutankhamun's greatest golden treasures including the funerary mask, the Harpooner and the throne are displayed in exact facsimile.
The Tutankhamun Exhibition is situated in the centre of historic Dorchester, Dorset's county town, and is close to all the town centre car parks. It is open daily from 9.30am to 5.30pm.
