Carter House 1910-2022

This webinar is in two parts, delivered by two members of the project team. Tom Hardwick, Egyptologist, will present the background of Carter and his house using historical images, texts, and objects to enliven the past. Nicholas Warner, architect, will describe the physical works already undertaken at the site and future plans for its sustainable development. Howard Carter built his house in 1910 at the entrance to the Valley of the Kings in glorious isolation. It served as his base of operations in Luxor until his death in 1939. Constructed of mudbricks in a combination of English "Arts and Crafts" and Egyptian vernacular styles, and including a photographic darkroom, the house was later converted to serve as a rest house for Antiquities Inspectors and subsequently as a "house-museum". In 2022, to coincide with the centenary of the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, ARCE is conserving the building and introducing new displays that capitalize on archival data to enrich our understanding of Carter's living and working environment.
