THE HARRY BURTON PHOTOS
Michael C. Carlos Museum – Through May 2005, 2009
When Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered in 1922, it was filled with artifacts including gold-covered chariots, elaborately carved alabaster vessels, inlaid furniture, a vast array of jewelry, and the famed gold mask. Every step of the archaeologists’ painstakingly detailed work in and around the tomb was documented through photography by Harry Burton, one of the first large scale excavations to be so thoroughly recorded. Many of the photos have become as famous as the artifacts themselves.
