A good location in Duke of York's Square, Kings Road, Chelsea. Just a short walk from Sloane Square and the Underground station, or take the No. 11 bus from Victoria Train Station.

The Tutankhamun Exhibition was crowded on a Sunday afternoon with queues for entry. Book tickets in advance on their website. Entry slots to the exhibition are time staggered.

The gallery is on various levels with both stairs and elevators. The combination of crowds and queues inside with insufficient ventilation, low background lighting and spot lighting to highlight the exhibits, creates a claustrophobic and stuffy environment.

Many people ignoring instructions not to use their mobile phones for photo's and videography. Some even using flash photography!

Toilets are downstairs in the basement.
