Exhibition: Tutankhamun in Manchester extended


Click Manchester (Michael Lynch)

Due to massive public interest, the historic Tutankhamun's tomb and treasures are to stay in Manchester for a further four weeks.

The public exhibition at the Trafford Centre has proved a massive success, as Christoph Scholz, the event's producer explained.

He said: "Our success in Manchester is further proof of the strong links between Britain and Egypt.

"Two major Egyptian shows; “The Book of the Dead” at London’s British Museum and our new replica concept in Manchester’s new exhibition complex are proving the love of ancient culture in the UK.

"It’s pleasing to see, that the audiences in the Northwest has accepted a new and even controversial exhibition concept outside of the city’s established Museums and Galleries."

Since opening on 22nd October, over 100,000 people have visited the spectacular reconstruction of the famous Pharaoh's remains.
