    Went this week.

    I took my print-out and my ID. THey asked for my ID.

    The exhibition took me a good 2 hours, so allow plenty of time to go around. THere's not a huge amount of stuff there, but by the time you position yourself in the crowd to get a look at something, plus walking around - it's quite spread out - it takes time.

    I didn't get an audioguide. £4:eek: However, I would familiarise myself with Akhenaten's reign (Tut's father), and a basic overview of Egyptian culture and religion before going. THe information available wasn't great and not very well ordered - it jumps about between Akhenaten and Tut.
  • Does anyone know what time it opens - and do you have to wait long to go in?
