The exhibit is organized by National Geographic, AEG Exhibitions, and Arts and Exhibitions International, with cooperation from the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, and sponsored by Northern Trust Corporation.

Visitors to "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" can view more than 130 artifacts from the tombs of King Tut, several of his relatives and his 18th Dynasty (1555 B.C. to 1305 B.C.) contemporaries. As viewers to the exhibit progress through the 11 galleries, the objects are presented in context of the social and political backdrop of the time in which their owners lived and ruled.

Each gallery focuses on a specific theme, such as "Daily Life in Ancient Egypt," "Traditional Religion" and "Death, Burial and the Afterlife," and builds to the final galleries where King Tut's treasures reside. This includes a gallery dedicated to the five items that were found on the Pharaoh's body when Howard Carter entered the tomb in 1922. All of the treasures in the exhibit are between 3,300 and 3,500 years old.
