Tut Uncommon: Experience the World of King Tut!
Since the discovery of his tomb in 1922, Tutankhamun has captured the hearts of people around the world. Buried with him were treasures beyond the imagination, a tomb holding the most magnificent treasures of the Golden Age of the Pharaohs and giving us a glittering glimpse into the past. When British archaeologist Howard Carter uncovered the remarkably preserved tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922, he created a worldwide sensation. The only tomb of its era found intact and full of indescribable treasures, it was also the first major discovery in the age of easy worldwide communication. That, along with rumors of a mysterious curse, helped make Tutankhamun the most popular of the Egyptian pharaohs in the modern world. Here, you will learn about his life, his death and the ancient curses that shaped King Tut's world.
It has been almost 30 years since the golden artifacts of the boy-king last left their home in Egypt. In the 1970's, the unprecedented King Tut exhibit fascinated millions of visitors with the marvelous treasures of King Tut's tomb, setting attendance records worldwide. Now Tutankhamun's treasures are back and coming to the Dallas Museum of Art in Dallas, Texas, this October and giving a new generation the chance to learn firsthand about the life and magic of this ancient monarch. Touring this remarkable exhibition you will experience:
- A one-of-a-kind civilization at the pinnacle of its power and influence . . .
- A priceless collection of ancient treasures buried for centuries . . .
- A magical discovery in the Valley of the Kings . . .
- A record-breaking blockbuster international art exhibition . . .
- The chance of a lifetime for Dallas . . . and you.
This extraordinary presentation of over 130 rarely seen and priceless artifacts from the tomb of King Tut and other Egyptian royals of the 18th Dynasty (1555–1305 B.C.) will be on view at the Dallas Museum of Art from October 3, 2008, to May 17, 2009. Organized by National Geographic, Arts & Exhibitions International, and AEG Exhibitions, with cooperation from the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, this breathtakingly beautiful exhibition will travel to the Dallas Museum of Art following record-shattering visits to only four other U.S. cities and London, England.
Dallas is the only city in the southern region of the United States chosen for Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, and the Dallas Museum of Art anticipates over one million visitors will attend the exhibition while here in Dallas. If you would rather not wait in line, we have the perfect solution . . .
