King Tutankhamun Exhibition comes to London

At long last... the exhibition of the treasures of King Tutankhamun and his family has arrived in the U.K.  For all those who are interested in Egyptology this is a wonderful time. 

We have it on good authority that a visit to the exhibition is well worthwhile. Our Chairman Bob Partridge and another long-standing MAES Member Audrey Carter (a relative of Howard Carter) were fortunate enough to be invited to the premier gala evening and grand-opening.  Don't listen to the ramblings of the non-egyptological journalists ... head down to London if you haven't already done so.
