Exhibitions of artifacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun have been held at museums in several countries, notably the United Kingdom, Soviet Union, United States, Canada and France etc. The artifacts had sparked widespread interest in ancient Egypt when they were discovered between 1922 and 1927, but most of them remained in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo until the 1960s, when they were first exhibited outside of Egypt; because of these exhibitions, relics from the tomb of Tutankhamun are among the most travelled artifacts in the world. The best-known tour was the Treasures of Tutankhamun from 1972 until 1981. Other exhibitions have included Tutankhamun Treasures in 1961 and 1967, Tutankhamen: The Golden Hereafter beginning in 2004, Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs beginning in 2005, Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs in 2008. Permanent exhibitions include the Tutankhamun Exhibition in Dorchester, United Kingdom, which contains replicas of many artifacts. All of the artifacts exhumed from the Tutankhamun tomb are, by international convention, considered property of the Egyptian government.

These pieces are kept at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Although journalists and government officials support the tours, some Egyptians argue that the artifacts should remain on display in their own country, where Egyptian school-children would have greater access to them, where the museum's exhibit would attract foreign tourists; the first travelling exhibition of a substantial number of Tutankhamun artifacts took place from 1961 to 1966. The exhibition, titled Tutankhamun Treasures featured 34 smaller pieces made of gold, alabaster and similar materials; the portions of the exhibition occurring in the United States were arranged by the Smithsonian Institution and organized by Dr. Froelich Rainey, Director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, with the assistance of Dr. Sarwat Okasha, Minister of Culture and National Guidance of the United Arab Republic; the exhibit travelled to six in Canada. The exhibition had a public purpose in mind, to "stimulate public interest in the UNESCO-sponsored salvage program for Nubian monuments threatened by the Aswan Dam project".

The exhibition opened in November 1961 at the Smithsonian's National Gallery of Art, in Washington, D. C; the exhibition was shown in eighteen cities in the United States, in six cities in Canada, including Winnipeg at the Manitoba Legislature and Ottawa. Other stops on the tour included: University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Pennsylvania Peabody Museum of Natural History, New Haven, Connecticut Museum of Fine Arts, Texas Joslyn Art Museum, Nebraska Field Museum of Natural History, Illinois Seattle Art Museum, Washington California Palace of the Legion of Honor, San Francisco, California Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, California Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio Museum of Fine Arts, Massachusetts City Art Museum of St. Louis, St. Louis, Walters Art Gallery, Maryland, Dayton Art Institute, Ohio, Toledo Museum of Art, Ohio, Royal Ontario Museum, Ontario The exhibit was part of 1964 World's Fair held in New York, United Arab Republic Pavilion From 1965 to 1966 an enlarged version of the 1961–1963 North America tour took place in Japan.
