King Tut in Paris

What is being billed at the last tour of objects found in the tomb of Tutankhamun opens in Paris tomorrow. 150 items of what Howard Carter described as "wonderful things" when he opened the tomb will be on show until 15th September. The exhibition includes 60 items which have not been seen before outside Egypt.
Over 150000 tickets have already been sold (the first tour here in 1967 attracted 1.2 million visitors).
The exhibition, in the Grande Halle de la Villette, includes films and displays about the king and the discovery.
