Event Details

Location: Los Angeles, CA

 

Join your fellow Cornellians as we take a trip to Egypt in the heart of Los Angeles! We will spend a day exploring the world premiere of King Tut: Treasures of the Golden Pharoah – the largest King Tut exhibition ever toured! The exhibit celebrates the 100-year anniversary of the discovery of King Tut’s tomb and will feature over 150 authentic artifacts from King Tut’s celebrated tomb – 60 of which have never traveled outside of Egypt, until now. Children are welcome to attend!

Our day will start by viewing the IMAX film Mysteries of Egypt, starring native Egyptian and legendary actor Omar Sharif. Soar over the great pyramids of Giza, rush over the Nile, cross the deathly quiet Valley of the Kings, and descend into the shadowy chambers of the sacred tomb of King Tutankhamun. Watch as ancient Egypt comes to life on a 7-story IMAX screen! After which, journey into King Tut’s tomb and view its many treasures and golden artifacts. Lastly, if you have yet to see the see the Space Shuttle Endeavor, stay to explore the Endeavour Together: Parts & People exhibit and see the space shuttle up close and in person.  NOTE: This is a CCLA Member Event Only.
