These gilded animal figures decorate the furniture of one of the most famous boy-kings of the ancient world, King Tutankhamun, who ruled Egypt about 3,000 years ago. Discovered in 1922, King Tut’s tomb is one of the best-preserved of any Egyptian Pharaoh. King Tut’s artifacts traveled the world for display in museums. But many of the relics are now being restored here, at the conservation center of Egypt’s new showcase for its historical treasures, the Grand Egyptian Museum.
