King Tut Exhibit - 08 JAN 2019

I was reluctant to see the California Science Center King Tut Exhibit since I had seen the first exhibit of Tut artifacts in 1978. My memories of that exhibit were of the large crowds:

According to the LA Library, the attendance records for the 'Treasures of Tutankhamun' exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (1978) holds the museum record for attendance of a single exhibit, a record which still has not been broken. I remember being packed and shuffled in like sardines-in-a-can, moving slowing pass several impressive golden objects:

I was very grateful, platform heals were the style of the day as mine made me 4 inches taller and kept my feet from being stepped on.
The new exhibit was much larger, over 150 artifacts vs the 55 artifacts of 1978; and included 60 new treasures never seen before (outside of Cairo).
I had not taken into consideration the changes in technology during the last 40 years, which made this new exhibit even more impressive and informative.
It included 3-D images, 360-degree theatrical manifestations, custom audio soundscapes, digital content, MRI scan results, several videos and a tribute to Howard Carter, the British archaeologist who unearthed the original tomb.
I didn't bring a camera, wrongly assuming photos would not be permitted, but non-flash and non-video images were allowed and I was lucky to have my cell phone with me.

The exhibit which ran from March 24, 2018 to January 13, 2019, will complete a tour of 10 international cities before returning to Cairo in 2024.
