Tickets for the King Tut exhibit opening this fall at the Dallas Museum of Art are on sale.

The exhibit, "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs," is making an encore visit to the United States after a two-year tour that drew nearly 4 million visitors ended in September 2007.

The exhibit, currently in London, will open at the Dallas Museum of Art on Oct. 3. It will run there through May 17, 2009, and then travel to two yet-to-be-named cities.

There will be more than 130 artifacts from the tomb of Egypt's King Tut, including some artifacts that are new to the exhibit and have not been seen before outside of Egypt, the Dallas Museum of Art said in a news release.

In Dallas, a photography exhibit of prints from Harry Burton, the photographer who accompanied the King Tut expedition in 1922, will be on display as well.

The official Golden Age of the Pharaohs website is now selling tickets for Dallas (via Ticketmaster).

Just a reminder to those of you who will be in the UK in the next couple of months - the exhibition is currently in London and closes on 31st August 2008.
