Growing Up Tutankhamun

Growing Up Tutankhamun marks the centennial of the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb (November 4, 1922) by reuniting a newly gifted relief block with an existing pastoral scene in the galleries. The four adjoined reliefs once decorated the royal palace where Tutankhamun grew up. The pastoral scene reveals the unique style of the Amarna Period, which introduced naturalistic imagery, previously unparalleled in Egyptian art.
