The King Tut exhibit did not meet my expectations... Expensive, long lines, hard to see the objects because of overcrowding, and ... where was King Tut? more

I have to agree with most others here. My husband and I went yesterday. The crowds were not too bad, but very loud. I'm all for school kids getting involved in culture and art, but they should also learn proper decorum in a museum, and it is up to the museum personnel to reinforce appropriate behavior. I also don't mind... more

I can't speak for the "normal" museum, I went during the King Tutankhamun display. This exhibit was amazing! After reading so many negative reviews, I was worried. Boy, was I glad I went. It was presented very professionally. It was crowded, but considering the items on display haven't traveled America in more than twenty years, I should hope it would... more

I had already seen the King at the Cairo museum, so this was an opportunity to take my family to see the King. We went on Wednesday March 8th, around 5pm. No lines at all, we had to wait just under 10 minutes before we let us in. I thought it was kind of tacky to charge $7 for the... more

First off, no King Tut. Secondly, you will have to wait in line for at least 30-45 minutes if you go in the weekend or afternoons. Thirdly, way to crowded so the tour will take you longer. Fourth, very little benches to sit on and rest after waiting in line and fighting through crowds. Fifth, this is way overpriced. There... more

I studied art history over 20 years ago. I simply could not wait to see King Tut. The famous Tut decorated every advertisement for this exhibit. I was just elated. The oversold exhibit was over populated and hard for someone to try and appreciate what was there..but the bigger problem was what was not there: Namely, King Tut. more

Very Crowded and Unorganized display. Head sets made many visitors completely unaware of their surroundings. The treasures we could see were magnificant; but I was more concerned about stepping on someone else's feet. I think the venue was too small to adequately display these wonders. more

The major Sarcophagus (Tut) was not on exhibit AND after racing to get there in time for the "timed" entry, we waited in line for about 1 hour and 20 minutes while being manuevered through THREE huge "Disney-type" lines before we were let into the museum. We opted not to get the audio tour because we felt we could read... more

My husband and I weren't intending to see the Tut exhibit, but when I came across the Marriott promotion offering two free VIP passes with headsets, we couldn't pass it up. It a great deal! We had no pre-conceptions about the exhibit and had done no research. Our VIP passes got us right in and the audio headsets were helpful.... more
