This exhibition celebrates the 100-year anniversary of the legendary discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. Visitors will be transported to Egypt to experience the wonders of the ancient world: The Temple at Karnak, The Great Sphinx, and an Egyptian sunrise as it ascends above The Pyramids of Giza before traveling back over 3,000 years to Egypt's 18th dynasty. They will enter King Tut's tomb, imagine the life and afterlife of this boy king, meet Egyptian gods such as Ra and Anubis, and go back in time with modern-day explorers to learn more about this enduring story. It's an event fit for a king!
