Can’t make it to Egypt? Don’t miss the King Tut exhibit [5]at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. It opened this past Sunday and runs until April 16, 2012. I saw it in Dallas a couple of years ago and it’s a wonderful exhibit; there’s a lot to see and learn about.

To prepare for your visit be sure to check out some books on the subject. Here are a few suggestions:

For kids:

King Tut’s Tomb [2]by Donald Nardo

Inside the Tomb of Tutankhamun [6]by Jacqueline Morley

For adults:

Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharohs [3]by Zahi Hawass (the exhibit book)

Tutankhamun: The Life and Death of a Boy King [7]by Christine El Mahdy
