Somewhere King Tut is looking down from his big fluffy cloud in heaven, and he’s thinking, “I am bigger than Jesus.”

Looks like King Tut has Kool-aid drinkers just like Obama. God Help Us!

the exhibit was cool and all, but i was disappointed in the fact that King Tut’s sarcaphagos (sp?) wasn’t on display. The DMA has it plastered on all of its advertising, yet it’s not on display.
I read on the screens while in line that the artifact was too fragile to travel, but it would have been nice had that fact been disclosed earlier….because other than that, it’s like an old garage sale.
@ Daniel: Thanks. That’s what happens when you blog while stopped at a red light.

Contrary to Brett’s statement, the image “plastered” on the DMA’s advertising is indeed being shown at the museum. It is the image of a “coffinette” that used to hold Tut’s live and it is in the exhibition. The object is smallish and it’s just remarkable for its fine craftsmanship and the level of detail.

brett…maybe had you done some research prior to purchasing a ticket or going to the exhibit you would have know that, not just by the signs in line. http://dallasmuseumofart.org/Dallas_Museum_of_Art/View/Tut/ID_198988 scroll down a little and see your question.
