Gold... everywhere the glint of gold...

Howard Carter, 26th November 1922

Ever since that day in 1922, when Howard Carter first uncovered the magnificent treasures hidden within the Boy King's tomb, Tutankhamun has commanded the attention of the world. From those fabulous, iconic golden artefacts, to the mystery surrounding his death, burial and curse, we are irresistibly drawn to a story that lay buried for more than 3,000 years.

The Tutankhamun Exhibition last visited the UK in the 1970s on a tour that became a global sensation, shattering attendance records worldwide. Over 1.6 million people eventually visited the exhibition in a wave of enthusiasm that has yet to be surpassed - until now. Thirty years on, we have our last chance to see these stunning works of art before they return to the Cairo Museum, where they will, in all likelihood, remain. It is doubtful that these celebrated artefacts will ever touch UK soil again.

The exhibition's unique appeal to such a wide audience makes it the perfect setting in which to entertain clients, colleagues and friends. Tutankhamun Hospitality, a joint venture between the exhibition organisers (National Geographic, AEG Exhibitions and Arts and Exhibitions International) and Hospitality in Partnership, will create a dedicated hospitality suite, The Pharaohs' Palace, inside The O2 with direct private access to the Exhibition itself.

The current Exhibition is far larger than the 1970's tour, including 130 priceless exhibits from Tutankhamun's tomb and other ancestral burials in the Valley of the Kings. Many of these extraordinary objects have never been seen outside Egypt before.

Without doubt, this new exhibition - "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" - will create the same sensational headlines and media frenzy as it did some thirty years ago. This will be the "must see" event of 2007/8.
