A special giveaway just for Richmondsfblog readers!
I have a pair of VIP tickets to the “Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of Pharoahs” exhibit at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. VIP tickets entitle you to see the exhibit anytime – no waiting, no lines. Just show your VIP tickets at the door and in you go.
To enter to win the pair of VIP tickets, find the answers to the Tut trivia questions below and then use the email form here on the site to send them in by noon on Wednesday, August 5. The winner will be drawn randomly from all correct entries.
TUT TRIVIA QUESTIONS:
1) Why is Tut’s famous gold mask not in the de Young show and where is it currently located?
2) Where is King Tutankhamun’s mummy?
Even if you don’t win the VIP tickets, you should still check out this historic collection of artifacts. Just last week, the museum extended their Tut at Twilight program to two nights a week, Tuesday and Wednesday, through September 30.
Tut at Twlight offers discounted admission ($20 for adults, seniors, students, and groups, and $15 for youth 6–17 and FAMSF members), convenient parking, evening views from the de Young’s observation tower, and a special prix fixe menu at the de Young Cafe ($14 per person, $21 with wine).

And if an evening visit doesn’t suit your schedule, you can see the exhibit daily from 9am–9pm (last ticket at 7:30 pm). Due to the large crowds, the museum recommends purchasing tickets in advance online or at the museum box office. Admission to the show also includes admission to the other de Young galleries.
