Q&A about the Tutankhamun exhibition
http://nymag.com/arts/art/features/30897/
A sort of Frequently Asked Questions listing from the New York Times about the Tutankhamun exhibition including why it is not going to New York and what sort of offering the exhibition actually is: "It’s atypical in that most blockbuster exhibits make at least gestures toward an intellectual conceit. Here, the wall labels are pretty basic, and the idea is mostly Look at all this awesome gold stuff. The museum’s shop even sells knockoffs of Hawass’s hat." But the article recommends the exhibition, and says that it just requires a little reading beforehand if you're not already familiar with the period.
