There's a bunch of King Tut artifacts at the Dallas Museum of Art. I remember going to see the original King Tut exhibit with Mom when it went through Chicago sometime in 1978 or so; she was really excited to see it, and sparked my interest too. What's a bit annoying is that the website splashes that golden funerary mask all over the site, probably because it's the most recognizable piece of Egyptian art in existence, but that mask is not going to be at the exhibit. They also talk in panicked tones about buying tickets right now, but the show's gonna be there until May. Well, that's marketers for you. I'm planning to go in spite of that; I love Egyptian stuff.
