Deck the halls with King Tut tickets, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
After months of seeing Tut promotions, hearing Tut news, going to parties and events with Tut-themed decor, I was excited for "opening day." And I'm a sports guy. Opening day for me usually involves a Florida Marlins hat, beer and a hot dog.
With ticket in hand, and Steve Martin King Tut song in my head, I entered the Museum of Art's Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibition. First there's a short video presentation to set the tone (actually it's the same video that you can watch on www.sunny.org/tut). As the video concludes, the curtains open and we proceed into the exhibition. I won't give it all away here, because it is something I want you to see for yourself. But I will say that it is a quite impressive display. One of the largest exhibition I have seen...the entire Museum's dedicated to the Tut gallery. You'll find interesting history, mystery, intricate and ornate items and even feel a sense of spirtuality. There's a great gift shop with everything Tut, from jewelry, figurines and prints, to quirky things like Tut tissue boxes and tic-tac-toe mummy games. And it's surprisingly reasonably priced.
I can recommend the King Tut exhbition with confidence to my friends, family and out-of-town guests. It is a true bang-for-your-buck experience. I'd like to know what you think....send me a comment if you've seen the exhibit.
