Tutankhamun Collection Migrates: Over 5,000 Artifacts Headed to the GEM

In a monumental move for Egyptology, over 5,000 artifacts from the treasures of Tutankhamun are being relocated to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) near Giza. This migration marks one of the most significant steps in preserving and showcasing the legacy of the boy king.

Previously housed in the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, these artifacts — ranging from the famed golden mask to intricately crafted jewelry, ceremonial objects, and chariots — will now be displayed in a state-of-the-art facility designed to protect and highlight Egypt’s rich history.

The GEM offers modern exhibition halls, climate-controlled galleries, and interactive displays, allowing visitors to experience Tutankhamun’s world like never before. Scholars and tourists alike can explore the 18th Dynasty’s treasures in a setting that balances both accessibility and preservation.

This migration is more than a logistical feat; it symbolizes Egypt’s commitment to cultural heritage and global education. With the GEM poised to become the world’s largest archaeological museum, the boy king’s treasures are set to captivate generations to come in a spectacular, modern environment.
