Marking the first time the treasures of Tutankhamun (King Tut) have visited America in 26 years, an extensive exhibition of more than 130 artifacts from the tomb of the celebrated Pharaoh and other Valley of the Kings ancestors visits the Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale beginning December 15, 2005. Fort Lauderdale is the only Southeast location to host the treasures.
Featured treasures in the exhibition, which are all between 3,300 and 3,500 years old, include Tutankhamun's royal diadem (http://www.kingtut.org/gallery/Gold_12.htm )- the gold crown discovered encircling the head of the king's mummified body that he likely wore while living - and one of the gold and precious stone inlaid coffinettes that contained his mummified internal organs. Opening for a very limited time December 15th at the Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale.

Finally, something a little more significant to me than Princess Diana memorobilia.
That'll be something I'd be willing to toss out a few bucks to see. Funny what a few thousand years will do to my enthusiasm. Nostalgic, too... I saw when it was touring Boston in '78, but I was just a cub at the time. I understand more nifty stuff has been added. That's what got me into egyptologhy in the first place. Any walking undead or ancient curses will jsut be a bonus.
