I actually can't complain about these free-enterprise flavored exhibitions. That said, I don't object to government sponsored museums (like the Smithsonian) in the same way I do about government sponsored art.

$30 seems a bit steep, but I'd probably foot the $90 tab for my family to see these artifacts. Maybe a once in a lifetime experience.

Most people who want to see this exhibition will compare going to Egypt at a cost of at least $1500/person, and subject themselves to Muslim terrorists. Now the exhibit comes to us, we can park our cars, and enjoy an air condition museums to view such wonderful historical objects. People who are complaining about $30/ticket should compare it with Broadway BS shows.

Unfortunately, however, the money collected will go to enrich the exhibit directors, and the ruling Egyptian corrupted regime. Very little will go to improve the antiquity research or preservation work.

We just plunked down a heck of alot more than that for a day at Disney World. This sounds like a bargain.

My son loves Egyptology. The British Museum had an excellent Egyptian archeology exhibition in Toronto last spring we went to see. What most people would spend an hour at, we were there for 6. I have a feeling I'm gonna hear alot of begging for a second day at the Field.
