King Tutankhamun who famously ruled Egypt in the 14th century BC died at about 18 and ended his family line.
Bolton Museum visitors can enjoy this special tour of the best Egyptian collection of any local authority.
The museum boasts five distinct rooms with 12,000 artefacts.
One room has a full-size replica of the tomb of Pharoah Tuthmose III who ruled between 1479 and 1425 BC made with 3D laser scanning.
The gallery was remodeled eight years ago with a £3.8 million redevelopment fund from the council.
