Saw the tour in Chicago in 1978 and it was very cool. I would love to see it again.

I saw it in Dallas last year; the centerpiece of the '78 museum exhibit - the Funerary Mask - is not on tour this time. Egypt no longer allows it out of the country.

I stood in line for 6 or 7 hours in New Orleans to see the exhibit. It is truly amazing. The craftsmanship throughout the exhibit is without equal and truly fitting for a king

My Funerary Mask poster faded and is no more

I also saw it in Dallas last year. The mask alone was worth the price of the ticket. Anybody who has the chance to see this exhibit should go. I was humbled by the intelligence and artistry it took to create the artifacts.
