The tomb of Tutankhamun is one of the most famous archaeological finds of all time. The clearance of the tomb took ten years, and in that time, photographer Harry Burton took more than 1400 large format black and white images. The exhibition consists of 50 photographs with explanatory labels, wall panels that discuss the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun and the role of the Oriental Institute in its interpretation, the early use of photography in archaeology, the photographic career of Harry Burton, and how the photographs fueled the public relations campaign of the excavators and spawned the myth of the curse of Tutankhamun. The prints to be exhibited at the Carlos are being loaned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Griffith Institute.
