Just weeks after celebrating its one millionth visitor of 2007, The Franklin Institute sold the one millionth ticket for “Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs," putting the museum on track to become the most successful venue on the exhibit’s current 27-month U.S. tour. . . .
Solidifying its place in Philadelphia's history, the King Tut exhibition broke previous records in March, 2007, when it became the most well attended museum exhibition in the city's history with more than 616,000 tickets sold or reserved since going on sale on November 8, 2006. Since opening in June 2005, "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" has drawn more than 3.6 million visitors, setting records in each city it has visited, including Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale and Chicago.
