King Tut Coffinette

King Tutankhamun’s San Francisco revisit is coming to an end. First seen in 1979, the boy king returned to the de Young Museum in a brand new exhibit featuring 130 pieces – jewelry, statues, masks, gold objects and of course that famous golden sarcophagus.

Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs” provides insight into the life of King Tut and other royals of the 18th Dynasty (1555–1305 BC). All of the treasures in the exhibition are more than 3,000 years old.”   Gorgeous!
