No museum exhibition in history has captured our hearts and minds like the King Tut exhibitions. These new exhibitions contain many artifacts that have never been seen outside of Egypt. In the 70s, the allure of the King Tut exhibitions mystified audiences and influenced everything from fashion, to food, to film—creating “Tut-Mania” everywhere they travel.
This blockbuster exhibition – which features treasures from over 2000 years of Egyptian history – will open at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto on November 24
Tutankhamun returns to San Francisco for the first time in 30 years at the de Young Museum. Catch Tut-Mania in the Bay Area and see Tut before it’s too late!
Extensively researched by Egyptologist Zahi Hawass and featuring photographs by National Geographic photographer Kenneth Garrett, this book showcases a splendid selection of treasures and brings these discoveries to life as never before.
Mysterious boy king Tutankhamun returned to the U.S. in 2008, bringing rare treasures never before seen outside Egypt. This book’s is the perfect keepsake and chronicle of this magnificent exhibition.
In June 2005, National Geographic Magazine featured King Tut and created this interactive expedition to his tomb.
Two mummified fetuses found in the tomb of King Tutankhamun will undergo DNA testing to determine their relation to the famous pharaoh.
Was Tutankhamun murdered? In an effort to solve that mystery and others, scientists CT-scanned the 3,000-year-old mummy of the ancient Egyptian king.
Students will explore what artifacts tell us about a culture. They will briefly consider what modern “artifacts” reveal about human culture. Students will then examine several ancient Egyptian artifacts and discuss what they reveal about ancient Egyptian culture.
Students will explore what historical and recent research has revealed about King Tut in an effort to solve the mystery of how he died.
Enjoy a wide variety of changing exhibitions in Washington, D.C.
