King Tut

[ecampbell]

We went to see it at the Franklin Institute yesterday. It was impressive but I was disapointed that the full size funeral mask was not present. It's the mask you see in the advertisements. I stood in front of that mask when it was at the Smithsonian in the 70's. It made me feel like I was in the presence of a king.

Ooh! That collection is on display again? Thanks for the heads up!
I also went to see it in the 70s in NY.

Just come stand in front of me Ed. You'll get the same feeling.

I always wnanted to see the exhibit but never did.Whas it crowded?

Crowded enough that we had to park off site. The tickets have a half hour window for the entry time so there isn't crowding in the exhibit. There was no line to enter the exhibit itself. If you go, purchase the audio tour. For $7 you get some gadget with headphones. Highlighted exhibits have a number on them, you enter it and Omar Sharief tells you all about it. Beats wasting time reading the story. You can concentrate on the item.
