King Tut exhibit sells thousands of tickets

In the first few hours after the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis opened ticket sales, it has sold more than 19,000 tickets, said Jaclyn Falkenstein, public relations coordinator for the museum.

One year ago, the museum announced the “Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs” exhibit, would come to Indianapolis. The exhibit of more than 130 artifacts will open on June 27, along with a new permanent exhibit on modern Egypt. The exhibit ends Oct. 25.
