Well, the exhibit based around artifacts found in his tomb anyways. King Tut is not actually in the King Tut Exhibit that is in Denver, his mummy resides in his tomb in Egypt, the gold sarcophagus is in the Egypt National Museum and does not travel outside of the country.

If you can overlook this fact though, Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs is a fantastic exhibit. Open until January 9th, this exhibit at the Denver Museum of Art was put together by National Geographic Egyptologists so you know that it is good. The exhibit opens up with an intro by Harrison Ford. Many of the Artifacts in the exhibit have never been seen in the United States before this tour.

I would buy your tickets early so that you can be sure to get in without much waiting. Have you been to see the exhibit yet, City Lights Residents.
