Don’t miss the limited time opportunity to attend the world premiere of the special exhibit, King Tut: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh. Commemorating the 100-year anniversary of the discovery of King Tut’s tomb, this exhibition is the largest King Tut exhibition that has ever toured! Discover over 150 authentic artifacts from King Tut’s celebrated tomb – 60 of which have never traveled outside of Egypt, until now. A dramatic presentation of dazzling multimedia complemented by rare artifacts will take you on immersive journey of the pharaoh’s quest for immortality. Examine exquisite rings found on King Tut’s fingers, opulent jewelry that adorned his body, and the gold sandals placed on his feet upon burial. Discover how the scientific analysis of King Tut’s 3,300-year-old mummy has revealed new information about his health and lineage, and how cutting-edge technologies have played a role in discovering new tombs and analyzing existing ones in ways never before imagined.
Enjoy approximately 5 hours at leisure to explore the King Tut exhibit, the Science Center’s permanent exhibits (including the Space Shuttle Endeavour) and enjoy lunch on your own at the Science Center eateries (or bring a sack lunch). Also included is the IMAX movie, Mysteries of Egypt, which brings to life this remarkable civilization on the 7-story IMAX screen.

Accompany the National Geographic team as they uncover the secrets of the pharaohs' tombs and the pyramids. Soar over the great pyramids of Giza, rush over the Nile, cross the deathly quiet Valley of the Kings, and descend into the shadowy chambers of the sacred tomb of King Tutankhamun. |
