Short Takes

Museums
  • Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, the exhibition that drew nearly 4 million visitors during its two-year, four-city tour, returned to the U.S. in October to the Dallas Museum of Art. The Dallas engagement marks the first time these artifacts will be seen in the Southwest region. The current exhibition includes an extensive array of more than 130 extraordinary artifacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun and other ancient Egyptian sites. The return of the exhibition to the U.S. will includes a selection of artifacts that are new to the exhibit and have never before been seen outside of Egypt.
