King Tutankhamun at the Pacific Science Center



The Pharoah's have come to Seattle's Pacific Science Center, and there is nothing more exciting than having ancient Egypt's astounding history here in the cool and cloudy Pacific Northwest. Upon purchasing my ticket, I have seldom seen people so mesmorized with the anticipation that they will soon be as close to these pharaonic relics as any anthropologist, historian, or discoverer before them. To enjoy the exhibit to its fullest capacity, I also opted to purchase the $5.00 audio control narrated by Harrison Ford in addition to the ticket price so I could easily walk around and learn a little extra about a featured sarcophagus, statue, bust, or coffin of a king or queen. The exhibit is neither too big nor too small, I found it just right and packed with information. All said and done, I completed it in about an hour of leisurely walking about. The experience is one of a kind, the layout of the exhibit dark, clean, and cool, enhancing all that comes before you and maximizing your experiential and visual senses.
