No other
cultural exhibit has piqued the nation's curiosity
- before or since - in quite the same way
as "The Treasures of Tutankhamun" (King Tut)
exhibit that visited America from 1976-1979.
In that span, nearly 8 million Americans viewed
the rare artifacts that sold out museums in
every city the treasures visited.
Drawing record crowds and critical praise,
and unleashing a cultural phenomenon that
included jewelry, clothing, dance moves, and
even hairstyles, Tut's impact on the art world,
and most of all, American sensibilities, is
immeasurable. What can be measured are the
millions who passed before the boy king's
burial items the last time they came to America.
Now, for the first time in 26 years later,
AEG Exhibitions in cooperation with National
Geographic, Arts & Exhibitions International,
and the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities,
will bring an extensive exhibition of more
than 130 treasures from the tomb of the celebrated
boy king and other legendary family tombs
to the United States on a 4 city tour beginning
in Los Angeles on
June 16, 2005.
"Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs"
will appear at the following venues:
