King Tut Exhibition
Homeschoolers can learn about King Tut and ancient Egypt, while visiting
San Francisco. The museum will feature over 130 works from the tomb of
Tutankhamun, as well as those of his royal predecessors, his family, and court
officials.
On view from June 27, 2009, through March 28, 2010 at the de Young Museum,
Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs provides insight into the life
of Tutankhamun and other royals of the 18th Dynasty (1555–1305 BC). All of the
treasures in the exhibition are more than 3,000 years old.
Tutankhamun was one of the last kings of Egypt’s 18th Dynasty and ruled
during a critical period of Egyptian history. The boy king died under mysterious
circumstances at the age of 18 or 19, in the ninth year of his reign (1322 BC).
Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings was filled with magnificent
treasures meant to ensure his divine immortality.
Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs offers glimpses of that
critical period in Egyptian history. Included are many of the day-to-day objects
enjoyed by the young king, including a finely crafted child’s chair and an inlaid
game board.
