Take the family to learn about King Tut and his life. An exhibit featuring the young king is coming to Atlanta, Georgia. See over 130 treasures from the tomb of King Tutankhamun from November 15, 2008 to May 25, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgias, Atlanta Civic Center. The exhibit will premier in Atlanta, later visiting other cities in the United States.
Children will especially enjoy the exhibit as they learn about King Tut's rule by gazing at the artificats that were found in his tomb. Items from other rulers that were found in various places will also be featured in the exhibit. According to exhibit organizers, about 2,000 years will be represented through art. Some of the items have not been viewed in the United States before. About 50 of the 130 treasures are derived from King Tut; the other artifacts represent items found from other Egyptian rulers and influential people. Families will have the opportunity to explore four galleries worth of artifacts from King Tut. The galleries will represent the four rooms of his actual tomb, discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter, a press release stated.
