The Queens of Egypt exhibit is filled with wonderful things to see. I plan to go back several times, so I got a membership for $75.00. There are hundreds of artifacts, videos, and a virtual tour through Queen Nefertari's tomb that is spectacular. The ads and exhibit guidebook have a picture of the bust of Queen Nefertiti. If you think you're going to see the original, think again. You'll have to book a flight to Berlin for that. The one in the exhibit is a replica which was made in the 1930's and I'm sure is the spitting image. There are a lot of interesting things to read, but it's a challenge. I wondered whether the designers were in league with local chiropractors, because many of us were bent over, rears in the air, trying to read the information explaining the items in the cases. Poor lighting cast a shadow from our heads, making it even more difficult. Also, if you think you might get dizzy, have someone with you when you go into the 3-D theater. It's beautifully done and worth sitting or holding on to someone to see it.
