A DEAF Media Docent Tour:
Thirty years after the original exhibition came to San Francisco, Tutankhamun, the celebrated “boy king” of ancient Egypt, returns to the de Young Museum. The glorious exhibition Tutankhamun
and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs features more than 130 artifacts from
the tomb of Tutankhamun and those of his royal predecessors, his family, and
court officials, providing insight into the life of royalty from Egypt’s 18th Dynasty (1555–1305 BC). All the treasures in the exhibition are more than 3,000 years old.
Tickets: $18.50 (Adult admission regularly
$32.50) • ($10
- Special request for financial need available)
[The producers of this special exhibition tour, not the
de Young nor DEAF Media, require payment before confirming admission. DEAF Media has volunteered to
facilitate this through our on-line Pay Pal account. All admission monies go to the producer, not to DEAF Media.]
Space is strictly limited. RSVPs accepted in order of receipt.
