Exhibition: Replicas of Tutankhamun tomb in Prague
Prague Post
Interesting article about an exhibition showing replicas of the tomb of Tutankhamun, weighing the merits versus the problems associated with this particular display.
The exhibit "King Tutankhamun - His Tomb and His Treasures," in Brno is, to put it mildly, not the real thing. For the real thing - meaning, for the chance to have seen even a small selection of the original treasures, which are from 2,500 to 4,600 years old - there was a major exhibition in Vienna earlier this year, titled "Tutankhamun and the World of the Pharaohs," co-sponsored by National Geographic magazine and put on in cooperation with the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities and the Kunsthistorisches Museum.
And it could be possible that the Austrian organizers of the King Tutankhamun exhibit in Brno even had this in mind. The posters advertising the exhibit (seen all around Prague) actually do state that their exhibition is of reproductions, but this is in the fine print only noticed from up close. Based on the number of grumbling parents inside the exhibit, it's fair to say that at least some of the adults there felt the exhibit was a swindle.
