A unique Special Tour
The 5th Earl of Carnarvon set out for Egypt from his home at Highclere Castle in 1905 and spent
the following 17 years on archaeological expeditions. Despite little inital success, he persevered with his digs throughout Middle and Lower Egypt.
In 1922, he discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun with his colleague and friend, Howard Carter.
His great grandson, the 8th Earl, has recently opened a
much-extended exhibition of the 5th Earl's work in the cellars of the Castle.
During your corporate event at the Castle, you can give your guests a very
special tour of the "Wonderful Things" Exhibition.
Beginning with the 'Antiquities Collection' containing exhibits up to 5,000 years old,
the Exhibition follows the 'Path to Discovery' before visitors see for themselves what Carnarvon and Carter found as
they made a hole in the secret door to Tutankhamun’s tomb and peered inside to find unimaginable treasures.
