Mildly amusing piece about one woman’s experience at the Tutankhamun exhibition - museums are just not her idea of a good time: "There were lots of people and it was the crowd that kept everything nice and toasty. Perfect for napping. I must have inherited some of my grandfather’s genes. That old man could sleep anywhere. The one thing that was quite enticing was the small sarcophagus on display that held Tut’s liver. Omar explained that each of the boy king’s organs was removed and placed in its own sarcophagus. The liver wasn’t there, but still the mental picture was kind of cool. Creepy, but cool". See the above article for the full tale of opne woman's exhibition woe.
