This exhibit includes more than 130 priceless artifacts, including treasures from the tomb of the celebrated “boy king” Tutankhamun (King Tut) and other royal tombs, all between 3,000 - 3,500 years old. Only a few of these artifacts were seen at the 1977 King Tut exhibit and many have never before left Egypt.
The trip includes bus transportation, lunch, and admission. Resident fee $54/non-resident fee $64, registration deadline is October 20.
