We got into Philly yesterday shortly after noon and checked into our hotel...The Courtyard Marriot. Our tickets for the King Tut Exhibition was for 5:30 so we went over to the Franklin Institute to see the museum before we took in Tut.
The exhibition was awesome. It was something else to be standing in the presence of artifacts with such color, such detail and over 3,000 years old. I don't have any photos of any of the exhibit as photography was strictly forbidden so I had to by the $59 hardcover book...a dvd was also available. The last time this exhibit (much smaller) toured the US was in the 1970's so who knows when it will come this way again. It is in Philly until this fall and I highly recommend it.
The above photo is what it is all about....why we are here!!
Last but not least in this preview is a little something from our pop culture past. This statue is standing in front of the Philadelphia Museum Of Art and it is that building where Rocky runs up the steps.
