Review of Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs

Thursday May 10, 2007
As long as you understand that you are seeing 130 beautiful treasures from the tomb of King Tut, other Valley of the Kings tombs and additional ancient sites, but not Tutankhamum's death mask or inner coffins, you should not be disappointed in Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.

It was with that knowledge that I approached Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs which is running at the Franklin Institute through September 30, 2007.

The exhibition itself is wonderfully presented with plenty of room to view each object from all sides. The set design and mood accurately recreates the feel of Egypt. The lighting for each object is perfect.
