No other cultural exhibit has piqued the nation's curiosity - before or since - in quite the same way as "The Treasures of Tutankhamun" (King Tut) exhibit that visited America from 1976-1979. In that span, nearly 8 million Americans viewed the rare artifacts that sold out museums in every city the treasures visited.
Drawing record crowds and critical praise, and unleashing a cultural phenomenon that included jewelry, clothing, dance moves, and even hairstyles, Tut's impact on the art world, and most of all, American sensibilities, is immeasurable. What can be measured are the millions who passed before the boy king's burial items the last time they came to America.
Now, after more than 30 years and a record-breaking comeback tour that began in 2004, King Tut returns to the United States with TWO exhibitions for an encore tour. Each exhibition features over 130 different artifacts from the tomb of King Tut and other ancient Egyptian Pharaohs.
20/20 states the new Exhibition is "a dazzling display." The New York Times heralds it as "powerful...poignant". The current King Tut exhibition is poised to become the most successful exhibition in history.
