King Tut Returns

If you mised the blockbuster King Tut show thirty years ago, here's another chance to see this spectacular exhibition. More than 3,000 years after his reign, and 30 years after the original exhibition opened in San Francisco, Tutankhamun, ancient Egypt’s celebrated “boy king,” returns to the de Young Museum June 27, 2009 and runs through March 10, 2010. "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" is a glorious exhibition of over 130 outstanding works from the tomb of Tutankhamun, as well as those of his royal predecessors, his family, and court officials.
