I saw the exhibit in Los Angeles and enjoyed it very much. I hadn't seen previous exhibits, though I've seen the magazine pictures.... and the gold mask was there. In terms of history and costume (particularly jewelry) it was very nice. I would recommend the effort! Kathy

Co-workers of mine who went to see it were disappointed, mostly (I gathered) because they hadn't realized beforehand that some of the most spectacular artifacts stayed home this time, such as the famous gold mask. Reading between the lines, though, it sounded pretty interesting to me as long as you go with an open mind and don't assume it's necessarily designed for maximum "splash" like previous Tut exhibits.
