Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibition. Stunning display of the artifacts found on their last exhibition prior to being permanently returned to Egypt. Amazing. This is a major exhibition so expect crowds but timed tickets reduced waiting to times get in a help spread out people. Excellent addition VR experience too, didn't bother with the additionly priced audio guide and didn't feel I missed out as a result. Not a cheap day out but if you want to see these amazing priceless works this is you last chance outside of Cairo. The king himself does not however feature, having been respectfully laid to rest back in his tomb, nor does his iconic death mask, being far too fragile and valuable to travel (a replica is on display for photo opportunities) Only disappointing feature was the ridiculously expensive tacky rubbish in the gift shop.
