The California Science Center extends the closing date and hours for King Tut: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh due to its popularity.

The exhibition’s closing date is now January 13, 2019. This informative exhibit made its   world premiere in March 2018. Since then more than half a million guests have visited King Tut: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh, making it one of the most well-attended special exhibitions in the California Science Center’s history.

If you haven’t seen King Tut’s treasures, so see it before it leaves the U.S. and travels to the Grande Halle de la Villette in Paris in March 2019. Presented by the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, IMG and the California Science Center, the immersive King Tut exhibition is unlike any that have toured previously. With more than 150 real artifacts from Tutankhamun’s tomb, this is the largest King Tut collection ever to tour outside of Egypt, including 60 tomb artifacts making their international debut. Guests learn the role of the burial objects in guiding King Tut on his quest for immortality. They also learn how the cutting-edge tools and scientific analysis of King Tut’s 3,000 year-old mummy reveal new information about his health and lineage.

Beginning Wednesday, December 26 and continuing through the final day of the exhibition, the last ticket time will be 5 p.m. Ticket holders have 90 minutes after the last ticket time, while all other Science Center exhibits will close at 5 p.m.

On New Year’s Eve, the last ticket time will be 3:30 p.m. and the exhibition will close at 5 p.m. The Science Center is closed on New Year’s Day.
