Did you know that The Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities Medelhavsmuseet in Stockholm celebrate 100 years since the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb?
And did you know that archaeologist Howard Carter himself visited Sweden 🇸🇪in the summer of 1930 to talk about Tutankhamun’s tomb? which he was still busy with – carrying out, documenting, and packing the many tomb items.
But what made Tutankhamun's discovery a remarkable event for this Swedish institute🇸🇪 !!
The discovery contributed to an increased interest in Ancient Egypt in large parts of the world. In Sweden, a special Egypt committee was founded and in March 1929 the Egyptian museum opened in Gamla Stan, Stockholm. In 1954 the Egyptian museum became part of the Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities.
The Museum is also showing Harry Burton's photographs from the work in the tomb. The museum will also exhibit reconstructions of some of the many garments the pharaoh had with him in the burial chamber.
