Recently I was reading The Philadelphia Inquirer and came across an article on the King Tutankhamun exhibit at the Franklin Institute. As it turns out, this is the last American stop out of four for the “Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs” tour. The Franklin Institute will house over 130 objects, more than the first tour from 1976 to 1979. Not only does this tour include artifacts from King Tutankhamun's tomb, but from other burial chambers dating back to 3,000 to 3,500 years ago. The curator informed the newspaper that they are putting the artifacts in context in order to help the viewer understand what the artifact was used for.
