Alabaster Canopic-box And Movable Lid Inside The Museum Of Egyptian Antiquities In Cairo, Egypt. Editorial Image

Pictured is the Tutankhamun alabaster canopic box and movable lid inside the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo, Egypt. The box is divided into four sections that each contain a miniature gold coffin with an alabaster human-headed stopper. The gold coffins once contained the viscera of King Tutankhamun. The museum was built in 1901 to a design by French architect Marcel Dourgnon. In 2022, the museum is due to be superseded by the newer and larger Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza.
