To say that I am overjoyed at this opportunity next year, is an understatement!

King Tut Exhibition to Come to SF for 9 Months

Thirty years to the month after King Tut first took San Francisco by storm, antiquity's most famous monarch will attempt to reprise the feat.
The San Francisco Fine Arts Museums are announcing today that the touring exhibit "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" will open at the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum in Golden Gate Park June 27, 2009, for a nine-month stay, through March 28, 2010. That would be the longest run for any single show in the de Young's history.

The exhibit, which features more than 130 artifacts from the 18th Dynasty king's opulently appointed tomb and other ancient Egyptian sites, is expected to be a blockbuster. Museum officials hope to exceed the 1 million visitor mark set by "Treasures of Tutankhamun" in its 1979 engagement of four months at the old de Young.

"I am very excited about this," said Fine Arts Museum*
