"For the first time since the 1970s, Delawareans and other Philadelphia-area residents will have a chance to view some of the spectacular items found in Tutankhamun's tomb. . . . Not only does it give visitors a glimpse into life in royal Egypt, but it also provides mystical insight into Ancient Egypt's fascination with death."

When the exhibit ends on September 30th 2007, the collection is marked down to travel to London (always assuming that the arguments re the London Dome venue are resolved, or a new venue is located)
