Treasures of Tutankhamun Gallery
By Robert Partridge

In 1922 the discovery of the virtually intact tomb of Tutankhamun became probably the best known and most spectacular archaeological find anywhere in the world.

The small tomb contained hundreds of objects (now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo), many richly decorated and covered in gold, that would be needed by the king in his afterlife.

All of the contents of the actual tomb itself are in the possession of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Egypt. A small selection of objects from Tutankhamun's tomb and contemporary objects is currently on tour in the US. At the moment, the exhibition is in Chicago, IL at the Field Museum of Natural History.

There are a number of other Tut-related objects in various museums. For example, the Oriental Institute Museum of the University of Chicago in Chicago, IL has a monumental statue of Tutankhamun on permanent display in the Egyptian gallery. On temporary display in the Egyptian gallery is a collection of objects from a cache discovered close to Tut's actual tomb in the Valley of the Kings. The cache consisted of what is typically called an "embalming cache" or "funerary meal" and contained a number of large store-jars in which remnants left over from some of the final ceremonies before Tut's tomb was sealed were interred. These objects include the set of dishes used in his funerary meal, among other objects.

Some of it is in museums around the world -- Egypt, US, Berlin, etc. but there is some doubt that all of his treasure was discovered. There is speculation that there were secret tunnels and labyrinths in the tombs and that some of them were used to hide treasure from tomb robbers.
