The Field Museum Presents the exhibition Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs
This is a once in a lifetime viewing. The King Tut Exhibition has been exclusively reserved for the CNS International Reception.
More than 3,000 years after his reign, King Tutankhamun, the celebrated boy king, became a
cultural phenomenon in the United States and around the world. See 130 dazzling Egyptian
treasures from the tombs of Tut and his royal relatives, many of which have never before traveled
outside Egypt! This NEW Exhibition is twice the size of the original 1977 exhibition and will view
stunning artifacts that portray the splendors of life and death in the 18th Dynasty, the era in which
King Tutankhamun and his family ruled. Called the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, this period
produced some of Egypts most famous rulers and most exquisite works of art.
