A new exhibition reappraises the work of Harry Burton, who photographed the decade-long Tutankhamun excavation. The collection is a striking record of a groundbreaking moment in our study of the past.
It was one of the most remarkable archaeological discoveries of the 20th Century.
But what was it like to first point a lens into the 3,000-year-old tomb of King Tutankhamun?
That job fell to Harry Burton. He took more than 3,400 photographs of the treasures uncovered by Egyptologist Howard Carter in a decade-long investigation of the famous site.
