Which museum has Tutankhamun?

Where to See Tutankhamun’s Treasures Today

For decades, the golden mask and artifacts of Tutankhamun have captivated visitors at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. But now, the legendary pharaoh has a new home. The Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza is set to become the permanent showcase for nearly all 5,000 objects discovered in King Tut’s tomb.

While some pieces have previously been displayed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and the Luxor Museum, the move to the Grand Egyptian Museum marks a new era in how we experience ancient Egypt’s most iconic discoveries. Located near the Giza Pyramids, this state-of-the-art museum offers a modern, immersive setting where visitors can explore the full splendor of Tutankhamun’s burial assemblage like never before.

The relocation not only brings better preservation conditions but also reunites the treasures in a way that tells a more complete story. From golden coffins to intricate jewelry and ceremonial chariots, the display is designed to reflect both the grandeur of the young king and the meticulous work of archaeologist Howard Carter, who first uncovered the tomb in 1922.

Interestingly, while the artifacts are now in Egypt, the original excavation records—filled with sketches, photographs, and notes from Carter’s team—remain archived at the Griffith Institute at the University of Oxford. These documents offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse into one of archaeology’s greatest finds.

With its vast galleries and cutting-edge technology, the Grand Egyptian Museum isn’t just a home for Tutankhamun—it’s a bridge between ancient history and the modern world. For anyone eager to walk in the footsteps of pharaohs, this is now the definitive destination.
