Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs June 16, 2010

'Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs' returns to NYC after more than 30 years! Behold the legendary treasures of King Tut. For the first time in a generation, revel in the splendor of the ancient Egyptian world as you view a dazzling array of possessions unearthed from his tomb, along with antiquities representing his family and contemporaries. Through 10 galleries and 130 artifacts, New York City will experience the world of the pharaohs like never before. The exhibition is displayed in two parts: the first features artifacts associated with Tutankhamun's predecessors, and explores ancient Egypt prior to Tutankhamun's reign; the second part of the exhibition features objects found in Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter in 1922.
