Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs
Submitted by Kelly Anderson, Patriot MomOur family is planning a trip to the Dallas area soon to see an exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art. They currently have an exhibit called "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs." It has 130 objects from King Tut's life and other royals from Egypt's 18th Dynasty. The treasures are all between 3,300 and 3,500 years old.
Caleb fell in love with Egyptian history last year in Mrs. Bunger's second grade class. I thought others might be interested in this information.
You can find more info. at www.dallasmuseumofart.org/tut. The exhibit ends May 17th. I think it has been very popular.
Thanks Kelly! This is great to know. It would make for a fun short family trip too!
I am sure that will be a wonderful experience for your family! I still remember going to see the Napolean exhibit in Memphis with my high school Art club. It came at just the right time since I was studying art and literature from that time period in my European History class. Seeing the actual paintings and artifacts made everything come to life. I'll never forget it!
P.S. It melts my heart to read that Caleb fell in love with Egyptian history while in my class... that just makes it all worth it!
