Tutankhamun: The Golden King & the Great Pharaohs

On view through January 9, 2011

Explore the splendor of the pharaohs through more than 100 striking objects spanning 2,000 years of ancient Egyptian history. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to see these stunning treasures at the exhibition’s only stop in the Rocky Mountain West.

In this extraordinary exhibition, you’ll see breathtaking treasures from King Tut’s tomb — including the golden sandals found on his mummy—and the largest image of King Tut ever unearthed, a 10-foot statue found at the remains of a funerary temple. Encounter artifacts from other powerful rulers and learn about the pharaohs’ function in both the earthly and divine worlds.

Plus, relive the excitement of Howard Carter’s 1922 discovery of King Tut’s tomb and explore new scientific discoveries that provide insight into the Boy King’s legendary life and death.

King Tut tickets may sell out during peak periods. We highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance. For more information about this exhibition and to buy tickets, visit www.tutdenver.com.
