If the art world is anything like the media one, we’re assuming the Art Gallery of Ontario is calling this a “get”: they’ve announced that they’re bringing King Tut back to the Gallery, thirty years after a 1979 exhibit brought—the AGO says—750,000 visitors infected with “Tutmania,” a deadly disease for which more Tut is the only cure. King Tutankhamun will play a prominent part in an exhibition called “Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs,” which (according to the press release just sent out) features “130 remarkable pieces from the tomb of King Tut and ancient sites representing some of the most important rulers throughout 2,000 years of ancient Egyptian history…Derived from temples and royal and private tombs from 2600 B.C to 660 B.C.” and “the largest image of King Tut ever unearthed—a 10-foot statue of the pharaoh found at the remains of the funerary temple of two of his high officials.” “Tutankhamun” starts for members on November 21 and the general public on November 24, continuing through to April 18, 2010. You can preregister for tickets online now. As if the gallery wasn’t cursed enough already!
