After a week of depression, anxiety over work and family issues, I took last Friday off to go see king Tut exhibition with my girl friends.
Overall, it was a good exhibition, considering it’s a traveling exhibit. It covers a large span of Egyptian history. The stone work from some of the other collections is astoundingly beautiful, and the artistry is exceptional. However, the King Tut room, was disappointing. All of the advertising for this showing includes a photograph of the famous gold Tut head piece, which was not included in the collection. There were NO large gold pieces at all. There are no sarcophagi because Tut and his death mask do not leave Egypt.
