We thought the exhibition was wonderful, and the quality of the workmanship in the artifacts stunning and contrasted sharply with the old rubbish in the gift shop - I felt it degraded the exhibition, and having been on a 'high' from the beautiful things we had seen, came down to earth with a crash!

Jennie Falconer, Billingshurst, West Sussex

It was rather disappointing. I knew that the death mask would not be there but the exhibits shown were apart from a few marvellous pieces rather ordinary. The Gift Shop is best avoided.

I have to say i was glad to hear the 'true' treasures had not left egypt when i went to visit egypt a month back. In fact in questionning a local guide i was informed that there had indeed been arguments with the uk event for depicting tuts mask when it wasnt there. go to luxor for tuts treasures!

claire, lancs, uk

What a glittering display of over gilded artifacts - and that was just the gift shop.

Must say was very disappointed not to see the boy king himself but was a fun way to spend a couple of hours.

Andrea Baker, Belper, Derbyshire

With preconceived ideas (wasn't expecting burial mask anyway) family enjoyed a 2 hour experience viewing the high level of craftsmanship on view. Beautiful, exquisite and a wonderful historical journey. Bought Tut's Tissue box so I could cry at the overpriced Tat in the gift shop though!

Neil Chance, Fareham,

I was aware the mask was not on display, I expected more items from Tutankamuns tomb including some of the larger items, although facinated by ancient egypt I found the exhibition interesting, but did feel cheated, the advertising is misleading. Hope the money goes to preserve artifacts in Egypt.

Carole, Margate, Kent

I saw it in Philadelphia. It was crowded, expensive, and magnificent. We felt it was not to be missed. Yes, the show aspect of it was corny, but it did help me forget I was in the 21st century. I never missed the death mask. Go while you have the chance.

Greg, Cleveland, USA

I wish I had read these reviews before! We spent £85 on a family ticket, if you include this with the price of our train ticket, plus lunch&dinner, you are looking at nearly £200 for a day out. We were extremely disappointed overall. And how can they justify £15 for a souvenir booklet?! Rip-Off!

Sue Drake, Basingstoke, UK

Overpriced and disingenuous.

Duncan, London,

I was very dissapointed that the famous mask, or even a model of it, wasn't in the show (some rather sneaky adevrtising there I think).

I would advise anyone to visit the British Museum instead (which we did the next day), their collection of Egyptian relics is massive and free to view.

nick, sheffield, UK

We have just returned from seeing the Treasures of King Tut, but were left disappointed by the rip off prices and the lack of King Tutankhamun, in all the advertising blurb it say "King Tut is returning to London to be hosted by th O2" he must have nipped out for lunch while we were there!!!!!

Alison, Torquay, Devon

Typical London Extortionate prices. Next you will be charged for walking. Towards the end you get excited thinking the next room will be the one, then the next one. Finally your at the gift shop and your left in shock. Why would it cost so much if you dont see what you see advertised. Imagine seeing Tutankhamun rocking chair on the poster no one would come, but then atleast it would be honest

james, london,

We received tickets as a gift. The negative comments prepared me for a disappointing visit, instead I was enthralled with the treasures on display, most of which I had never seen before.

I was thrilled to see a real sarcophagus which, like all the objects on display, was beautiful, authentic and over 3000 years old. Why would anybody even suggest including a fake! I took the trouble to read up on the exhibition before I went and was aware that the mask would not be present; however, for my money, the canopic coffinette, which is the picture seen in the ads and is identical to the mask in miniature, is an absolute masterpiece of craftsmanship and well worth seeing.

Take your time and enjoy it, anybody taking less than 90 minutes won’t do it justice and will lead to a negative experience.

I agree about the shop though, anything that wasn’t tacky and expensive was eye-wateringly expensive and, at hundreds of pounds, I can’t help wondering who the jewellery was aimed at.

Vicky, Canvey Island,

April 2008: Enthralled by the high levels of craftsmanship and design involved in making the various artefacts but bemused by our present-day inability to provide sufficient public toilets within the O2 concourse.......and in a working order!

Tony & Sarah , Clacton-on-Sea, UK

The exibition was wonderful but do however feel very cheated about the mask. Im sure this must be false advertising? I could not believe it when I arrived at the shop, the end of the tour.
I asked a staff member about the mask and she reeled off a reply that she must have said a million times about the cairo museum. There were 3 other people complaining at the same time I was there so this must be a regular occurence.

Rachel, Eastbourne, England

I really wished I had looked more into this day out before going. The exhibition was what can only be described as awful. Had been to Cairo was not expecting much but truely felt ripped off by the advertising. Complained at the o2 but they had obviously heard it all before. Just pointed at the white (small) writing at the bottom of the poster explaning that no death mask was there.

i came home and had to research on the internet to see if it was just me!!! They really should not allowed to behave like this, surely it is flase advertising, still angry about it!! Rubbish time, small and cramped, felt like they were treating us like we were stupid, which we are to pay to see these artifacts.

sharon , brum, west midlands

The 02 location is THE easiest to get to in London - so many options, all so new and easy to get around. Tube, River, Buses, Loads of parking.

Exhibition is fantastic!, spread out in a space way bigger than any exhibition squished into other London museums. I found all of the artefacts fascinating and stunning. All beautiful and relevant to the story of Tut. Amazing intricate craftsmanship is astonishing on items created over 3000 years ago.

Timed tickets worked like a dream and meant only shared my time in there with not too many others.

Audio tour is a must! Omar Sharif links all the artefacts with the story of Tut and gives their relevance for being there.

I didn't go for any of the glitzy famous showbiz items I'd heard about, I went to get the story of Tut and marvel at the survival of this amazing discovery. I was 100% truly impressed!!!! Felt really close to the fact and story of Tuts reign.

I'm not even going to mention the gift shop. I go to exhibitions for the exhibits.

W Ross, London, UK

It was very so so. Yes the exhibits are fascinating but the real disappointment comes when at the end there is no sarcophogus just a piece of BBC24 footage showing King Tut for the first time - I could have stayed home for that and not spent £90.00! What a con to be honest. Hardly a day out - 1 hour tops. Also what else do you do once you have made a journey to the O2 which is not near anything else? Gift shop was hilarious - what a load of rubbish. The tissue box just beggars belief - it does have to be seen to be believed.

Jennifer Hodge, Potters Bar, England

We agree with the majority of comments here, very disappointing, we did not see advertising that said no death mask present. Plus too many galleries without stuff from the tomb. what was there was beautiful but there wasn't much to see really. The boat trip to the 02 Arena was the highlight of our day not the exhibition. We felt we had been lured there under false pretenses.

Fran Field, Hitchin, UK

last year I travelled to Cairo and witnessed the beauty of Tutankhamon's treasures. Its impressive. Not just the gold, but the detail of board games, elegant chairs and finely crafted jewellery. And the mask is breath-taking; the craftsmanship is stunning and the face itself is beautiful. its eyes look right through you with 3000 years of wisdom in them.

Hearing of the exhibition at the o2 I wanted to share the experience of Cairo with my husband. It was around 3 times as expensive, but I figured still cheaper than the flight to Egypt!

It was the most disappointing con I have ever had the misfortune to fall prey to. When we left the exhibition lead out through the gourdy gift shop I couldn't help myself bursting into tears.

the exhibition is all talk and no trousers. The artifacts are of some interest, but compared to what I saw in Cairo it is just trinkets. Nothing of the awe I felt was recreated here. I feel like I've been mugged. Save you money for the flight instead!

catherine, Rochester, uk

Went through the museum, building my kids up to seeing the death mask and sarcophogus - should have done my homework. Was left feeling conned - save your cash.

Adrian Houghton , Formby,

Thanks to you all I have not wasted my money. I shall go to the British museum instead - more items and its free!

Clare, Birmingham, West Midlands

This has been a very interesting read - thank you everybody who has posted on here. I saw the 1972 when i was at school and have been really looking forward to seeing it again. Im not going to bother now.
doesnt sound like they have brought much at all. Ok the treasure is more than the mask i grant you but that is what everybody really expects to see. I seem to recall loads of stuff in 1972- the gold sarcphogus, a throne and loads of other Iitems . Wasnt the mask the opening exhibit at 1972 show ? I could be wrong - i was a kid and totally overawed by it all. This sounds like misrepresentation to me - false advertising. Have you no recourse to get your money back?

karen , lincs, uk

Yes, I have to agree with many of the other comments. The exhibition was a total disappointment and not a patch on other Egyptian collections in other museums around the country. I too was really excited about my visit but felt cheated and let down by the few exhibits, poor interpretation and lack of information and the lack of the death mask or at least a convincing replica is a shame and shouldn't be used on the advertising as this is very misleading. Some of the galleries could hardly be called that especially the last one which left me feeling let down, not to mention the lack of items under a fiver for kids in the gift shop - if this is their first experience of true Eygptology - shame on the organisers. Sorry but I wouldn't bother if I knew - the boat trip on the Thames Clipper was far more impressive.

Dr Tracey Rich, Near Marlborough, Wiltshire

To all those who have taken the trouble to point out the shortcomings of this exhibition, Thank You! There's nothing worse than heading off with your children full of excitment and tales of "how great the exhibition was 35 years ago when I was your age" only to be disappointed & disillusioned.
We'll take your advice & visit the British Museum & other more worthy recipients of our business.
ORGANISERS TAKE NOTE!

Robin, Hassocks,

Having travelled from Cheshire to the O2 I feel totally conned. Whoever got away with the advertising campaign should be hunted down, mummified and put on show as part of the exhibition. This in some small way might bring a smile to the faces of all the disappointed people who expected to see the 'death mask' or at least the sarcophagus. The advertsing implies Tutankhamun is at the exhibition. You have to look carefully to see that official websites only refer to the 'treasures.' Even on this point it is a con as only half of the exhibits are actually from the tomb. I'm surprised Trading Standards haven't closed them down. If you are into Ancient Egypt visit the British Museum it's free.

Greg Wood, Chester, UK

COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED!
I hava always loved ancient Egypt & was so excited to find the exhibition coming to the UK - how wrong I was! I walked round the exhibition in around 40 minutes. There were the odd couple of excellent pieces but the vast majority was the usual small shabtis, pots etc that you can find anywhere (& not pay £20 to see!). I would recommend the British Museum if you are travelling to London anyway. The egyptian sections are fantastic (& include the Rosetta stone!) & free. In fact the Manchester Museums Egyptology section is a million times better than this rubbish - go there if you live in the north west its great.

Deborah, Manchester, UK

Having formerly worked in a museum, I've reviewed comment cards from visitors who complained loudly that "the gift shop was overpriced." This is cause for complaint? I would be very surprised if you had the option of buying *nothing* if you can't afford the prices....or is our idea of a cultural experience so inextricably linked to the idea of "buying stuff" that we feel the cultural experience is damaged if the retail experience is unavailable? I have seen many museum objects that filled me with wonder and envy; a fridge magnet or - god forbid - a tissue dispenser formed in the shape of one of those objects would not produce the same emotions.
That said I empathise entirely with those who say the exhibition is poorly laid out, poorly interpreted and artifact-poor. There may be no more famous or captivating collection of historic artifacts anywhere in the world; shame on the 02 exhibition organisers for leaving visitors feeling cheated.

Robert Barron, Vancouver, BC, CANADA

Very disappointing! We visited on Feb 3rd expecting to see the treasures and casket of King Tut. Bought See tickets on line and could not find any information on the actual exhibits. Less than 20 items belonging to the King, the rest from other digs. A few interesting artifacts - when you could close enough see them, so many people crowded into the rooms. In semi - darkness, so difficult to see how many items in each room, they are well spaced out to give the impression of many.
Was so looking forward to this and feel cheated. The advertisments suggested that the whole Tutenkhamun ensemble would be on show, not a few items. The British museum has a brilliant Egyptian section and does not charge £22 per ticket. Lots of overpriced tat for sale in the shop that you have to exit by. Total waste of money and time.
Would not visit an exhibition at O2 again.

Pat Cottrell, Southampton, England

DISAPPOINTING.
Certainly there are some nice objects here but not enough wow factor for me. Remember this is not a cheap exhibition and it's reasonable to have high expectations. The information presented was interesting but minimal. It wouldn't have put them out too much to provide some more in depth descriptions.
Finally I can't let that gift shop go by unmentioned either. We expect to pay over the odds for souvenirs, but really, those prices are a joke. Not surprisingly, and thankfully, nobody was buying. Doesn't seem like good business sense to me.

Andy, Dorset, England

We visited the exhibition on Saturday 26th January. Firstly we were met by complete confusion and people queuing everywhere and it wasn't clear what for. We had bought tickets on the internet and had to queue at the windows to get these exchanged for the tickets. We then had to queue AGAIN to actually get into the exhibition. This was very muddled as the queue was long and people had different timed entries yet there was no help from staff where people should stand. Eventually we entered after queuing for about 45 mins and up the escalators to the top floor entrance.
Inside I enjoyed the exhibition however at times there were so many people it was difficult to get near to the exhibits. Indeed half is dedicated to other periods of Egyptian history but this was all interesting. Sadly, for me, I didn't realise that the death mask was not on show and upon reaching the exit felt disappointed. Yes, beautiful exhibits - very expensive gift shop. Glad I went but some annoyances.

Dawn Morgan, Southampton, Hampshire

Yes, I'd say there are a lot of unrealistic expectations being set up, judging from these comments. A friend and I went when it was in Chicago, but we did our homework beforehand--which actually wasn't that difficult. So we knew 1) that there would be other artifacts included, and 2) that the big artifacts wouldn't be there. (C'mon, do you really think Egypt will let those out of the country again?!) We also went as early in the morning as possible, to avoid the crowds (no real worries about blocking or being blocked).

We had a wonderful time! We were in there between 2 and 2 1/2 hours, studying the artifacts to our hearts' content. When I stood in front of the crook and flail, and realized that I was looking at things that Tutankhamun may well have used in his lifetime, I literally got chills. And the craftsmanship on the golden dagger--especially the gold microbeads--is amazing! We didn't need to see the big stuff to be absolutely impressed. A little study goes a long way.

Sarah Heiner, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

I went to the exhibition today 21st january 2008. What a con. King Tutankhamun and friends more like with a small "tutt". I should have seen the original exhibition back in the 70s as part of a school trip but due to poor scheduling we had no time left to see what was supposed to the main thrust of the visit. 36 years and 1 more try my day was wasted as far as I'm concerned.Too few of the original artifacts were on display and while the advertising clearly says that the burial mask is not there why could a replica NOT have been displayed? A tacky hollywood film goes to extraordinary financial lengths to replicate trivia. Maybe the Dome which afterall is nothing other than a big tent rather than the British Museum playing host should have given away some clue as to what would actually be on display on the day.The gift shop is full of over-priced seaside tat. This was a really sadly missed opportunity to bring a first class exhibition of King Tutankhamun back to London.

cliff adamson, derby, UK

ps Don't waste your cash. You can see more on the internet for free.This exhibition which really is an abuse of the word is rubbish and a complete rip-off.

cliff adamson, derby, UK

I teach primary school children about mummification and was thus determined to see the exhibition. The objects themselves were STUNNING - major internationally important artefacts and it was an absolute pleasure to see them!!! That said, the exhibition was dire! The queuing and video presentation were laughable. I knew that the mummy, sarcophagii and death mask would not be present but I was expecting to see the gilded throne, 'cow' bed, chariots etc! £20 was a lot to pay - but as an enthusiast I was happy to pay it. I would not recommend this badly presented display to those with children - many were clearly bored. Many adults did not understand the labels which, whilst they were brief, presumed too much prior knowledge of complex mythological ideas.
The shop was indeed RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED and full of tut tat!
Any self-respecting museum curator would be ashamed to have created this exhibition.

Ian Tully MA, Preston, Lancashire, UK.

Personally, I loved the exhibition. On the other hand, it didn't realy have anything that famous in it, but I supose if one was to take those objects out of Egypt and tour them around the world, it would be a bit disappointing for a tourist who had just payed a couple hundred only to find out that the main attraction was all the way London in an exhibition. I saw the posters and I new immediately that the object was one of the four canopic coffins from looking at the detail of the face, and I kind of felt sorry for the unknowledgeable people who where probably going to think that it was the death mask or the inner coffin (which weren’t in the exhibition for the reasons above).

The exhibition was completely worth every penny, and the objects were fascinating to look at. The shop was a bit offensive to Ancient Egypt though, due to all the tacky commercial things it contained.

Simon, Egham,

After seeing images advertising this exhibition, I purchased two tickets for the exhibition; one was for my mother who came especially from abroad. We were particularly looking forward to seeing King Tut’s canopic coffinette, as we had seen pictures of this in the advertising – in fact this was the principle reason for our booking the tickets. We were most disappointed when we went around the exhibition and the canopic coffinette was nowhere to be seen. I considered the possibility that the coffinette was not at the exhibition and merely used in the advertising, which of course, would be false advertising. However, upon checking the website (http://www.kingtut.org/about_the_exhibition/exhibition_preview), it clearly says in the exhibition preview that the coffinette was supposed to be on display in room 8: “View King Tut’s gold canopic coffinette”.

Av, London,

Took my nephew who is TUT mad as his Christmas present. Was sorely disappointed as all he really wanted to see was the famous "Death Mask" which was printed on all of the advertisments. This was NOWHERE to be seen. The whole exhibition was very interesting but we all came out feeling disappointed and ripped off. Do not buy anything from the shop DISGUSTINGLY OVERPRICED!!!

Lynette Biddle, Nuneaton, England

As a 16 year old fascinated by Ancient History and growing up reading books about Ancient Egypt and the amazing mystery that surrounds the life of the Pharoahs, I was incredibly let down and disappointed when it came to near the end of the exhibition, getting worked up about the climax of what i thought would be the famous death mask and the amazing sarcophagus (or at least a few of them!), there was nothing, just a gift shop around the corner, which, needless to say, didn't inherit any of my money. I was left feeling extremely gulliable and ripped off and also very cheated after wanting to see the fantastic artifacts nearlly all of my life. I thought that this was the day that I was going to see the treasures of Tutankhamun, and in all honesty, it was total RUBBISH. Yes, the items that are on display are very interesting, but afterwards none of them matter because you have the horrible gut feeling of being cheated.

Don't fall for it. Save up and fly to Cairo to see it in full. Jess

Jess, Reading, Berkshire

echo the above comments totally. Left feeling dissapointed - no attempt to engage children or - come to that - adults... just another "look through the glass at the atifact" type exhibition... and none of them fascinating particularly either. Seen one ankh, seen 'em all.

I would be the first to condemn the "instant gratification" culture... but this style of exhibition I thought had disappeared in the 70s. But obviously not. Our local museum has a far more user friendly, interesting and involving style. Poor King Tut... 3,500 years after he died he's being used as a means to seperate gullible tourists from their money.

Total rip-off.

ian diddams, devizes, wiltshire

Very disappointing - not much of Tutankhamun's items on view especially considering the comment made upon the intial discovery of "gold ... everywhere the glint of gold" - a comment not to be made about this poor exhibition. Went to the exhibition in the 70's and as far as I can recall not only was the famous death mask on view but also other large fantastic pieces - the two giant cats and chariot, chairs etc - in other words simply breathtaking. Apart from 4 pieces, anything else was pretty run of the mill and simply not worth the effort. Also, if you have already been mislead into buying tickets - DO NOT BUY ANYTHING IN THE SHOP AS WE DID - expect to pay double - really outrageous.

Jackie Lewis, Hove, East Sussex

You Limey’s just complain about everything about this wonderful exhibit

Dave , philadelphia, pa

When I visit soon will I have to "walk like an Egyptian"?(I loved the last Tut. exhib. in the 70's.Can't believe one at the Dome will be so tasteful.However-we shall see.)Can't wait to get to the Dome again by L&D Light r.way-sitting at the front of the driverless train.Great fun.(and I'm in my 60s!)

HD, WsM, UK

Shocking rip-off!!....I feel completely conned. A triumph of marketing over content. Is it interesting? yes but save yourself the money and go to the British museum. The exhibition or more accurately the show fails to present any of the the best known treasures and much of the show has scant relationship to the boy king other than being Egyptian.

Shame on the organisers for being less that truthful in their marketing and advertising....and the post show shop is the worst collection of tat I have ever witnessed.

Hope this helps anyone who might be contemplating parting with hard earned cash, my advice would be not to and instead to support the British Museum

Simon Wilson, Winchester,

I visited the Exhibition back in 1972 as a Primary School student and remember being so excited about this school trip to the British Museum, after which I was hooked on Ancient Egypt for life, and couldn't wait to grow up and experience the wonders of Egypt for myself - which I have done so now, twice. Again excited that the exhibition has come to London after all this time, I couldn't wait to get to the O2, I have to say I was very disappointed in the display , it's very 'bitty' and leads you to believe, in the way you are guided through the exhibition, that certain antiquities would be on display, whilst walking through you are expecting to see them - but you don't. It's very Hollywood, and definitely not worth £20!!

Eleanor Niles, London, UK

I saw this exhibition when it was in LA and was so surprised to discover how little of it was actually to do with Tutankhamum. I think the adverts are incredibly misleading. There are far better egyptian artefacts at the British Museum and it's free!

Susannah Love, Derby, UK

Very disappointed by what is a huge con. The advertising is deliberately misleading, letting you believe that the exhibition of 30 years ago is returning complete with gold funerary mask. As for the gift shop, be careful what you buy. My husband bought one of the mugs and the first time through the dishwasher the decal peeled off. I bought a sterling silver bracelet but found on closer inspection that it does not appear to have any hallmark.

M Gibbon, Aberdeen,

I saw the exhibit this summer in Philadelphia. I'm still not sure if I was satisfied or disappointed. I rented the Omar Sharif audio tour thingy, but did not feel that it added appreciably to the experience.

I did not mind seeing the items that were *not* from Tut's tomb, but I sorta wish that aspect had been better advertised.

Tickets were listed at $32, but they had a "special" the day I went, $25. But then the audio tour rental was $7, so I ended up paying ... $32. Heh.

As for the gift shop, my main complaint was that nearly every item in the shop was Made in China. I looked hard and finally found a nice papyrus refrigerator magnet with a scarab motif that was hand-painted in Egypt for $4. Maybe Dr. Hawass will sign it for me. :)

Emily Bennett, Washington, DC,

Disgraceful commecialization of one of the most significant archaeological discoveries ever made. As has been noted the marketing basically lies to get you in - no, there is no gold mask to see. Going through 11 galleries before one even sees a single item from the tomb is, frankly, a con. Hawass yet again milks the heritage of his own country for money and self aggrandizement. The man is a charlatan and should be removed from his post as soon as possible. I was particularly amused by the room displaying images from previous examinations of the mummy - 1968, 78, 2005... less than 20 feet from a huge looping peice from BBC news showing the mummy recently being taken out of the tomb - with Nicholas Owne stating that 'this is the first time we will see the mummy for 3000 years' - did nobody notice this idiotic inconsistency? The less said about the gift shop the better. The 6m high picture of Hawass and the copies of his hat on sale below it was the final straw for me.

Jim, London, UK

Once inside the exhibition it's perfectly easy to forget you're inside the dome. Wonderful display and atmosphere, dark, quiet, plenty of time and space to walk around and look closely again and again. A great priviledge to see these marvellous things. We knew the mask wouldn't be there, what of it - maybe one 'superstar' item would have distracted us from concentrating on other wonders (lots of these). We loved the audio guide by Omar Sharif and the music. Go, see it and take your time - why even bother with the shop? We didn't.

Wendy Murphy, Burnley, UK

Visited exhibition today. Was disappointed. It wasnt spectacular, very ordinary. The few exhibits were spaced around to look much more - BEWARE - Do not follow anyone with the audio set as they stop at each point for at least 10 minutes blocking everyone elses view!!!! Tickets pretty pricey too, the only thing i will say was quite impressed with the O2 arena. Walked straigh through the gift shop as it was Tat Tat Tat!!!!!

Claire, Kent,

I have to say this was a major (and expensive) disappointment. Very badly organised before you get in the exhibition.
More than half the rooms have items that were not found in King Tut's tomb and are rather unnecessary. People should realise the famous mask is NOT on display and nor are any of the larger items found. The rooms are all very dark and to be honest not very much to see in many of them! One more thing - avoid the gift shop - it is a total disgrace and really overpriced. The guide book (a flimsy, naff looking paperback is £17 - other items are way too expensive.

Paul G, London, UK

It may be true that, legally, they have not said the mask is there, but they know full well that nearly all people will be fooled into spending money on the expectation of seeing it.

I came away with a very foul taste in my mouth. It is expensive to visit. There is no printed material openly available on entry (yes I know there's a shop, but it's not at the entry point). It is entertainment, not information. The shop is obscenely expensive (50 page smaller-than-A5 booklet for £17!! or an 'egyptian' hat for £34!!!)

Don't go, it would just encourage them to be more greedy next time. It's a rip-off.

Julian, Cambridge,

Tacky music. Piped music. Sparce information. Leaking roof. Exhibits covered with polythene. Shop is a shameless rip-off. Parents beware! £8.95 for a rubber to go on the end of a pencil. £4 for a fridge magnet. What a poor show.

Edward, London, UK

It is fraudulent in my opinion also. If you click the 'Tutankhamun Treasures' link on the official site it shows only one image ... that of the Death Mask.

Graham Hay, Newton Aycliffe, England

I don't think it's fraudulent - it has been made quite clear in many adverts, reviews, guides, etc. that the mask is not in the exhibition.

Claire , Ayrshire,

I think that the advertising for this show is fraudulent. It might be a blown up depiction from a miniature cofffin, but it looks like the death mask, and most people will have paid their £20 expecting to see it.
