The Royal Collection

The collection of artifacts found in the legendary tomb of Tutankhamun is the pride of the Egyptian Museum.

The treasure of Tutankhamun is a collection of his coffins and a large quantity of jewelry made of gold, semiprecious stones, and colored glass.

These exquisite jewels reveal a refined and well-developed criterion of craftsmanship that has not been witnessed in any other collection.

The jewelry illustrates the creativity and the variety of designs mastered by artists during the most prosperous era of Ancient Egypt: the Eighteenth Dynasty .
