The popular traveling exhibition “Tutankhamun: The Golden King And The Great Pharaohs” is making its way around the country, but right now you can see it in Houston.  It will be on display at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston until December 24.

The exhibition features more than 100 works of art, most of which have never been shown before in the US.  The treasures from the tomb of King Tutankhamun that are on display, as well as extraordinary objects from pharaohs before him, span nearly 2,000 years of Egypt’s history.

Some of the highlights of the exhibit include the largest image of King Tut ever unearthed, a gold canopic coffinette found on King Tut’s mummy, statues of prominent pharaohs, and more.

This is a great way to see history with your own eyes and get to see some artifacts that you would normally have to travel to Egypt to see.

Tickets for adults are $25 during the week and $33 during the weekend.  College students are $23 and $29 and youth ages 6 through 18 are $16 and $18.
