Could you be satisfied with a replica?

I found an interesting news on BBC.


The exhibition of replica of King Tutankhamun's tomb is going to be held in Egypt before long. The display is an imitation but it was made elaborately so it looks very real. The authorities hope and want tourists to come the exhibition instead of the original to prevent degrading of its quality.

I agree with this thinking to preserve the original tomb. Actually, It is easy to visit and enjoy seeing the original but If the original would be worse condition by visiting a lot of people there, It would be difficult to repair it. I think that the replica is enough for people like me to feel a historical object because the replica was made very similar with real object. Therefor, maybe we can not distinguish which is the realia. In my opinion, I think that just people like researchers and experts who really want to know and research must visit and other people should avoid going there to keep condition of an important historical thing.


Question
1,Which will you visit to enjoy seeing the tomb? real or replica?
2,Do you agree with using the replica instead of the original tomb?
