I was excited and looked forward to seeing the Tutankhamun exhibition at the Melbourne Museum, and I wasn't disappointed. I travelled interstate to Melbourne especially to see it and took my mother along. We were both mesmirised by the beauty and intricate designs of the artifacts, such as jewelly, furniture, ornaments, a guilded coffin, personal items and much more on... More

No Tutankhamun mummy or golden death mask.. in face not a single major display from Tutankhamun's tomb.. i've been to a previous mummy exhilaration at the Melbourne museum, and at that time they had a few mummies and even some mummified cats.. this is completely a waste of money, and there is nothing that you haven't seen, if you already...

After a few negative reviews I thought this Melbourne exhibition deserved one that was a bit more favourable! We saw this last weekend, and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had been forewarned that the funerary mask was not part of the exhibition, so we didn't have any hopes dashed. (I'm sure it's fairly well-known that the mask, the mummy, and the... More

We had my family and a friend's family (eight of us) visit the Melbourne Tutankhamun exhibition. The kids who are aged 10 - 15 couldn't get to the end fast enough and we as adults tried to enjoy it but found it mostly dull. I was disappointed although not greatly surprised that there was no mummy for viewing and even... More

just been to the Melbourne, Australia exhibition. As described in the other review, dark rooms and poor audio commentary. No real standout objects of great interest. Many seem to be duplicates but this cannot be proven. Some jewellery amazing small intricate detail saved the day but overall overpriced exibition for what you get to see. the gift shop also heavily... More

I have been blessed to see the FULL tutankhamun exhibition on two prior occasions. Once in London in the late 1960s, and again at the Cairo museum in 1989. This is NOT a Tutankhamun exhibition. None of the major pieces are in Melbourne. Instead this exhibition is just his jewelry. The Melbourne museum markets this exhibit with images of the... More

King Tut exhibit without King Tut! All the ads depict the gold burial mask. So of course we all thought we were going to see it. It's not allowed to leave Egypt like the mummy. No Mummy, no mask

I know New York isn't famous for manners but the staff here are so rude, I had just payed to get in and upon walking into the exhibit I was told I had to leave my bag in the cloakroom. I explained to the lady I have skme valuable stuff in my bag (I had just bought an iPad) and... More

Last year we saw the DaVinci exhibit at the Times Square Discovery Zone and I was excited to see they were showing the King Tut exhibit this year. I've been to museums all over the world and I thought the interactive treatment of DaVinci was exceptional so I had high hopes for King Tut. Was seriously disappointed. First, most of... More
