The Tutankhamun Galleries at the Grand Egyptian Museum: The Whole Collection, Together at Last
For the first time ever, the complete Tutankhamun collection — more than 5,000 objects — is shown together, in two dedicated galleries at the GEM. What's inside and how to see it.
Quick answer: For the first time ever, the complete Tutankhamun collection — more than 5,000 objects from the boy king's tomb — is displayed together, in two dedicated galleries at the Grand Egyptian Museum. Until now these treasures were split between the old Egyptian Museum on Tahrir and storage; the GEM reunites the entire discovery in one place, on the Giza plateau near where the pharaohs were buried.
What's in the galleries
Howard Carter catalogued more than 5,000 objects when he opened the tomb in 1922 — and the GEM galleries are built to show the whole assemblage as a single story: the nested gilded shrines and coffins, the funerary treasures and jewellery, ceremonial thrones and chariots, weapons, and the everyday objects buried for the king's afterlife. Displayed together, they read less like a "greatest hits" and more like the complete burial it actually was.
Why "together for the first time" matters
Most visitors have only ever seen a fraction of Tutankhamun's treasures at once; a large share had never been publicly displayed at all. Bringing the full collection into purpose-built galleries — with the space, lighting and conservation the objects need — is the single biggest reason the GEM matters to anyone interested in ancient Egypt.
How to see them
The Tutankhamun galleries are the highlight of a GEM visit and are reached via the Grand Staircase. Entry is by timed online booking; allow two to three hours for the museum overall and treat the Tutankhamun galleries as the centrepiece. Confirm whether a supplement applies to the Tutankhamun halls when you book, as Ministry pricing can change.
