The display case of King Tutankhamun’s mask has not been opened since its restoration in 2015 and it’s never opened for photography
Referring to what was circulated on social media about permitting filming the iconic mask of King Tutankhamun outside its display case, Ms. Sabah Abdel Razek, Director General of the Egyptian Museum, indicated that this is a misinformed allegation, stressing that the display case of King Tutankhamun’s mask has not been opened since its restoration was completed in 2015 by an Egyptian international team.
She emphasized that the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities refuses to photograph the mask outside its display case, despite receiving a large number of requests from professional photographers and international television channels to photograph it in exchange for large sums of money, and that this was rejected in order to preserve this important and unique artifact.
