In February 2013, the GCI and Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities began implementation of the conservation plan for the wall paintings in the tomb of Tutankhamen. The work focused on stabilizing the wall paintings in the burial chamber. Conditions requiring treatment include localized lifting of paint flakes and thin plaster washes, loose and fragmented areas of plaster, and dust removal.
Learn more about the conservation and management of the tomb of King Tutankhamen.
