King Tut

A couple of the sarcophagi of King Tutankhamun, each one smaller until they reached the mummy. They were made of cypress with a thin layer of gold foil. These are part of the exhibit at Union Station. The exhibit presents reproductions made to scale of the originals, which cannot leave Egypt. The exhibit provides a fascinating story of the discovery of the tomb and the excavation of the artifacts.
