bedsitter23One of the side trips on my way to the McAllen/Brownsville/Harlingen area was to see the King Tut exhibit at the local museum.
It looks legit, but after some research, it gets confusing. Not everything is in one place.
I mean it's like when the Bay City Rollers come to town. Is it Les McKeown's group or one of the other groups using the name?
So, this exhibition is Giovanni Amin's.
It has 165 pieces. Some are replicas, though , which kind of takes the wind out of my sales. (Even if they are authentic replicas that are 50 years old).
The prize of the collection is the funerary mask, which is the thing you think of when you think all things Tut.
As well as the second inner sarcophagus (which was one of three).
He could have won a grammy.
It feels a bit of a letdown (like when you see a poster that Thin Lizzy is coming to town (What? How?)), but it was pretty cheap, and it was a pretty cool little exhibit with a few things that were worth seeing, and the replicas were designed with giving the viewer as much as the Howard Carter experience as possible. I give it a thumb's up.
