About the Exhibition:
On view at the Discovery Times Square Exposition (DTSX) through January 2, 2011, the exhibition includes 50 exquisite relics found in King Tut’s tomb, with 80 more from the tombs of family members and other royals of his day. In addition to the artifacts, which will give kids a sense of what daily life was like in Tut’s time, the exhibition features an exact replica of Tut’s mummy and forensic information which has helped shape the latest theories on how the Boy King lived and died. Families can extend their Egyptian experience at DTSX with the exciting 3D movie Egypt 3D: Secrets of the Mummies, which follows researchers as they try to solve the mysteries of a cache of Egyptian mummies by piecing together archeological and forensic clues.
