Tutankhamun still drawing crowds

Visiting the exhibitioon
"The Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale, which has been showcasing the exhibition, Tutankhamum and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, has been drawing big, steady crowds daily.
Museum officials say people have to wait in line every day, but some days are tougher than others. Every Friday through Sunday in January are sold out, according to Michael Mills, spokesman for the museum. But people will arrive trying to score same day tickets anyway, museum officials said, adding to the long lines. Another few days to avoid? The last week of the exhibit -- April 16 to 23. Mills expects it to be a mob scene. On Thursday, those waiting in line made one thing clear: The best time to see the King Tut exhibit are weekdays, Monday through Thursday".

"Some 50 South Florida schools, including a half-dozen from Palm Beach County, attended Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, this week, and educators used it as a learning tool.For many, the exhibit capped off lessons that highlighted ancient Egypt and King Tut".
