Tutankhamun: His Tomb and His Treasures

CRITIC’S PICK: Imagine Exhibitions is bringing King Tut and his sundry accouterments to Atlanta this month for a three-month stint. In order to protect the millennia-old originals, the exhibit uses exact replicas created by Egyptian craftsmen under the guidance of Egyptologists. The Pharaoh’s tomb, unearthed in 1922, is the only royal burial found intact in modern times. The exhibition comprises 1,000 objects, graphics, film and an audio guide, offering “a once-in-a-lifetime insight into the archaeology of ancient Egypt,” says executive Christoph Scholz. “Guests are taken on a journey of exploration to experience the treasures of Tutankhamun and his famous tomb chambers exactly as they were when discovered. Through our exhibitions, they relive that magical moment of discovery.” — Kevin C. Madigan
