Just got home from the King Tut exhibit here in Dallas.
No photography allowed inside the exhibit but I think the $100 book for sale at the end of it would probably have been worth it.
The first 1/3 of the exhibit was a little boring but then the King Tut stuff finished strong. I guess it's considered a partial exhibit from earlier ones but the craftsmanship in the carvings and gold work took my breath away.
They're into their last couple of weeks now and if you can make it, GO!
Seeing his knife was worth the entire trip.
I kept wondering if those artists 3,200 years ago used reading glasses or another form of magnification because the work is so intricate.
I suggest a week day if you can manage it.
A guy can google all of that stuff but seeing is believing, it's fantastic. Do the audio tour it's well worth it.
