The National Library of Romania, located in downtown Bucharest, is currently hosting the Treasures of Ancient Egypt exhibition, which features, among others, ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s mask. Visitors can also see a fragment of an authentic sarcophagus, jewels, papyrus sheets, ushabtis or amulets that accompanied the dead in the afterlife.

The collection consists of an impressive number of exhibits (over 300), including original artifacts, all reflecting the development stages of the ancient Egyptian civilization.
