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.

First time there, I went to see the Tutankhamen exhibition. It was rather busy and was difficult to view everything as I felt uncomfortable staying too long at any of the displays, which were awesome. I was disappointed at the fact the Death Mask wasn't on show but to be fair, it was stated that all items weren't there. Ticket prices were rather expensive I thought. Staff outside were very helpful... there were a lot of people queueing and every half hour they let in the crowd of people, who had a time for entrance on their tickets. More people went in than came out so I would advise getting as early a time as possible.

The gallery is obviously one of the best in London. Great place, lots of quality lightning, friendly staff. But there is one problem (December 2012): the current exposition is a load of crap!
Tagline is "outstanding features of the Soviet Union". But what you really see is a bunch of photos of homeless people posing naked (real ugly stuff) and another room is filled with closeups of prison inmates, demonstrating their ink. If this is the best that the curator could assemble for an appropriate representation of current contemporary Russian art - I feel sorry for him.

A fascinating visit to the world of ancient pharaohs and the life of Tutankhamun. The venue is situated just off the Kings Road near Sloane Square. Plenty of choices of shops and eateries nearby. The gallery itself and exhibition was fantastic. Good queuing system and opportunity to obtain commentary sets to aid the tour. Recommended

Visited the Tutankhamun exhibition st the Saatchi Gallery in London Amazing exhibits but would have been better if the way through it was more structured so that everyone could see everything. Would recommend going.

This place is free to visit and has some great exhibitions but if you are not into modern art it's not for you. The displays sometimes confound, perplex and amuse, but if the art work has generated some kind of emotional response then it has served it's purpose. There is lift access to the floors, toilets and a good shop.

We went Sunday 15th March, for the Tutankhamen exhibition was great very well laid out, although will say the glass cases some of the exhibits were in, could have positioned the exhibits better so the joins in the glass didn't interfere with the view.
The staff were brilliant with making sure things were clean.

Not the biggest gallery, but it doesn't need to be. The Saatchi Gallery is spacious and light, giving off a great atmosphere to view art in. Exhibitions are changing every so often and I had the pleasure of view the Iconoclasts Exhibition which I really enjoyed. It is a wholesome viewing experience and I didn't feel like there was too much to see nor too little. The gift shop is large and has gifts for past exhibitions too but offers too little of the art for example, in the postcards.

Awesome gallery featuring tuntakamen! The facility itself was nice. Very spacious with a nice introductory video and ample space to see the exhibits. WiFi was also nicely covered throughout the whole building. Easy central location to get to from most major areas around London. Bathrooms on bottom floor, and elevators are present. Not too many stairs and the place was well lit throughout the exhibit. Very nice!

I was here a few weeks ago and thought the exhibits were very thought-provoking and unique.

Sadly some parts of the gallery were being renovated in some way but there was still a lot to see and each room really had it's own theme and aesthetic.

I am planning to take my family here some time soon, very much worth the visit!

Well lit galleries with beautiful installations enable to adore the art. The building itself is nicely renovated and the reception staff was very kind and helpful.

The visit was quite short, but enjoyable, I was disappointed not to see the spectacular ant art installations as seen on google, so keep in mind it always changes and you have to check.
