Tut-mania

Back in June I previewed Discovering Tutankhamun at the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, University of Oxford (CLICK). To mark the opening of the exhibition, BBC News has posted a page of exhibits under the title Tut-mania, which shows how the discovery of the boy king's tomb in 1922 had a huge impact on popular culture around the world (CLICK). Shown is the Outermost Coffin of Tutankhamun. (CLICK for the Ashmolean Museum.)
