Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs

This exhibit will feature more than 130 artifacts from the 18th Dynasty king's opulently appointed tomb and other ancient Egyptian sites.

Every piece in the show is at least 3,300 years old. Many of them never traveled outside of Egypt before this tour. They document the life, times and postmortem enshrinement of the "boy king" who died, at age 18 or 19, in 1323 B.C., nine years into his reign.

Advance tickets are highly recommended for this exhibition. Tickets will be on sale to members in early 2009. Tickets for the general public will become available in spring, 2009.
