    saw in New York

    by Amanda1986Ag on 11/10/11New York - New York

    I saw this on a whim with my mom in New York because we heard that it was never coming back to the states. It kept building up saying keep going on to see King Tut. and when you finally get to the 30+ room, you see the body, ONLY to find that it is not the actual. The actual body has never left Egypt EVER! It tells you that in the tour. The workers can also confirm that. It was awesome to see history and all of the findings--including what the people would preserve the body parts in. I thought it was awesome to see where they placed King Tut's remains and his mother's for that matter. It is totally worth seeing.

    Tut, better called Golden Age of the Pharaohs

    by Numbat on 9/30/10DeYoung - San Francisco

    I was so excited for my grandchildren to see the King Tut exhibit. We had great memories of 30 yrs ago. We had shared the book from that earlier visit. Imagine my disappointment that it wasn't The Tut Exhibit! The exhibit was incredible, no doubt about that, with enough gold to dazzle anyone. Still wished they had been honest about the title. We were lucky enough to visit Egypt in 2000 and spend time in the Cairo Museum with their full display of all things Tut. It is a shame that these traveling exhibits look better than how the items are displayed in Egypt.

    we really enjoyed the exhibit

    by Tripsickery on 6/27/10De Young Museum - San Francisco

    The items that were on display were nothing short of amazing. The incredible detail and fine fine workmanship , we were in awe. We had seen a show on TV that showed and explained the work involved in transporting and setting up the event as it traveled from museum to museum, the people involved do a tremendous job. ** My advice, get the audio tour recorded device, it goes into far more detail than than the printed descriptions by each display. We went to the exhibit knowing in advance that the Tut wasn't going to be there so it wasn't expected nor disappointing. However, more people should do their homework so they would know what they were going to see. Standing in line for the length of time we did, listening to people complain and complain was the ONLY negative thing we have to say about the event. My review would have been a full 5 stars had the time in line before entering the actual viewing area been a bit less aggravating. I am patient ... I wish more people were.

    King Tut Exhibit

    by MusicMan777 on 5/12/10de Young Museum - San Francisco

    This exhibit was very interesting. It was a bit disappointing to find out that they didn't have King Tut's actual Sarcophagus on site, but then I discovered that, apparently due to its fragility, it hasn't traveled outside of Egypt since the 1970's. The rest of the items were fascinating, and it would be a great time for any history buff or fan of Egyptian culture! Highly Recommended!!!

    Not worth the ticket price

    by zachsgrammy on 4/30/10Discovery Building - New York City

    I had seen the exhibit the first time it came into town in 1979. That show was great didn't want to leave.Everyone I knew had raved about the show and it was all anyone could talk about at the time. I was incredibly disapointed with this exhibit, only a very small portion of the exhibit was actually artifacts from King Tut. The headsets added very little to the show and were a complete waste of money, so don't get them if you go. The show was hyped up way beyond its value. I should have saved my money . The 3D movie was good. Didn't have to do with King Tut just about finding mummies. Stay home enjoy a movie about King Tut !!!!!!

    Thrilling Gift for in-laws

    by AmazingDaughterInLaw on 3/29/10de Young Museum - San Francisco

    I got the KIng Tut Holiday Gift Pack as a christmas present for my in-laws. They were thrilled to receive it, as they hadn't been able to afford it themselves. They were thrilled to be able to go in the middle of the week, and not be confined to a weekend. They enjoyed the experience so much, they came back with little museum gifts for the Grand Kids.

    Tut

    by valeemanor on 3/29/10de Young Museum - San Francisco

    All that glitters is not gold - or Tut, for that matter. Excited going in; lots of Tut-ancestry; some gold; waiting, waiting, waiting to see Tut's tomb; to see a "visual representation"?! I'll admit - I cried with disappointment for the last part. BUT, I was TRULY AWED by all the cool stuff though. Loved the pictures on the wall of the actual tomb, and finding the items in the collection!
