Thousands of visitors streamed through the Grand Egyptian Museum on Tuesday as almost the entire collection of King Tutankhamun's treasures - over 4,500 artefacts - was displayed together for the first time since the young pharaoh's tomb was discovered in 1922.

Curated and conserved over nearly two decades, the collection was unveiled to the public two days after the museum's lavish opening ceremony on Saturday.
