Q. Why is the Tut exhibition being shown at the Civic Center?
A: The Michael C. Carlos Museum of Emory University is proud to present Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs. The "Tut" experience for visitors will actually include two magnificent exhibitions. Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs will be shown at the Atlanta Civic Center, and the companion exhibition, Wonderful Things: The Harry Burton Photographs and the Discovery of the Tomb of Tutankhamun, will be shown at the Carlos Museum's Emory campus location. Visitors to Emory will also have the opportunity to view the Carlos Museum's permanent collection of ancient Egyptian art, the most comprehensive and distinguished collection of ancient Egyptian art in the Southeast. The Civic Center's plentiful parking and proximity to downtown locations, together with shuttles and special promotional packages for visits to the Carlos Museum at Emory--less than five miles away--will provide visitors with a remarkable exposure to the art of ancient Egypt.

Q: What are exhibition hours?
A: At the Civic Center, King Tut exhibition hours are 7 days a week from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (last tickets sold at 5 p.m.). Carlos Museum hours are Tuesday-Saturday: 10 am-5 pm; Sunday 12 pm -5 pm. (Closed Monday)
