A 1905 throwback. This is a rare photograph of a chair and a jewel casket belonging to Yuya and Thuya, photographed outside their tomb shortly after its discovery in the Valley of the Kings Luxor. Their treasures are on display in the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir.

This is the last time artifacts from King Tut’s tomb will leave Egypt. Thank you to the people of Egypt and our sister city, Giza, for sharing their national treasures with L.A. as part of the #KingTutTour!
Proud to welcome the #KingTutTour to L.A.! We're honored to be the first city in the world to host the largest collection of King Tut artifacts ever assembled outside Egypt.
