The temporary exhibition of King Tutankhamun currently held at the “Grande Halle de la Villette” in the French capital, Paris, which opened last March under the title “Tutankhamun, Treasures of the Pharaoh,” has broken records in the history of the most visited cultural exhibitions in France, with the number of its visitors so far reaching 1.4 million, according to the latest official count issued by the exhibition’s officials, noting that this number continues to rise as the exhibition runs until September 22 this month, as reported by international and French media.
The exhibition’s achievement received great attention and wide coverage in international and French media, and newspapers and news agencies stressed that this exhibition and other temporary exhibitions that Egypt holds abroad are the best publicity for Egypt, its ancient civilization and its unique treasures, with a positive impact on inbound tourism to Egypt and repeat visits.
It is worth noting that the exhibition “Tutankhamun, Treasures of the Pharaoh” was opened by Egyptian Minister of Antiquities Dr. Khaled El-Enany and the French Minister of Culture last March, and runs until September 22 this month. It will then move to the British capital, London, where it will open in early November, at its third stop after Los Angeles in the United States and Paris. The exhibition contains a number of artifacts from the collection of King Tutankhamun.
