• A Future for the Valley of the Queens, Luxor? at The Courtauld Institute of Art

  Special Event

  6 March 2012

  Courtauld Institute of Art WC2R 0RN[map]

  Of the hundred tombs in the Queens Valley, only a few-fewer than 10 perhaps-retain sufficiently preserved wall paintings to serve as tourist attractions. Robbery, reuse, flood, rock collapse since antiquity have all wreaked their havoc. Only the most beautiful tomb-that of Queen Nefertari-survived, and has been a magnet for visitors. Yet there is much that remains of significance and offers the possibility for interpretation. For some years The Getty Conservation Institute has been collaborating with the authorities to develop a comprehensive plan for the stabilization, protection, presentation, and management of the valley and its tombs.
