Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs presents over 100 priceless artifacts, including treasures from the tomb of the boy king Tutankhamun and riches from other royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Statuary, jewelry, medallions, ceramics, faience and glass, furniture, and golden figurines will take you back to a time of hieroglyphs, pharaohs, and elaborate palaces. Now you can uncover these treasures at The Field Museum. Suggested Group Itineraries Adult and Senior Groups Visit the King Tut exhibition at The Field Museum Add a stop at Marilyn Miglin, and learn first hand about ancient oils and their Egyptian origins.
