Tutankhamun: "Wonderful Things"

• Source: CBS

October 1st thru January 31st

King Tutankhamun is making his royal entrance into Detroit's Charles H. Wright Museum!

Come see one hundred and twenty six stunning and exact works of Turankhamun's- ancient Egypt's boy king pharaoh- sacred and personal possessions:

• His magnificent state chariot

• Golden shrines

• Beds

• Thrones

• Jewelry and adornment

• Spectacular funerary mask

• Sarcophagus

• His royal mummy

An innocent puppet-ruler, Tutankhamun was caught in the midst of a dangerous and profound political, spirtitual, and artistic revolution against the entire patheon of ancient Egyptian gods by the first monotheistic religious cult in history.

After 20 years of wear-and-tear on the priceless objects (55 in all), the tour was concluded and the collection returned to Egypt. Superbly and exactly reproduced, this magnificent collection of 126 legendary artifacts faithfully preserves the grandeur and mystery of the most astonishing archaeological treasures ever discovered.

This exhibition requires museum admission: $8 for 13-61 years of age; $5 for children aged 3-12; $5 for seniors aged 62-+
