Borring ?
It is one thing to blame the economy because the attendance at Tut in Dallas is down; it is another thing to blame the show's contents for less interest felt by a public who expects more than this. The 130 objects are a group of the standard stars of the Cairo Egyptian Museum and are each highly marketed by Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities.
Perhaps more interest would be felt if half of the objects were mummies, less famous, we all know King Tutankhamen, but hardly know the Twenty-First Dynasty priests and priestesses of Amen. I say put the dead back into the museum display; the problem here appears to me to be political correctness.
