Once in a lifetime opportunity to view Tutankhamun...

Once in a lifetime opportunity to view Tutankhamun: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh, most of the precious objects never having left Egypt before. This is a beautifully-curated exhibition, telling the story of the surprise discovery of the tomb of the "boy king", thereby granting him immortality according to the customs of the time, and confounding his enemies, who wanted him to be forgotten. An Enter the Tomb virtual reality experience, on the second floor, needs a separate ticket (which I didn't buy), but I'd recommend the audio guide as an accompaniment. Hope current health problems don't prevent mamy more people from seeing it.
