Shades of brown and grey merge together into a melody of past images, where a daughter and a father would play dolls together late into the night, until the lady Judas would come disturbing the songs of a loving family. While just outside a little girl's bedroom window, a light cool breeze would gently guide the leaves of a tree to their resting place on the ground below, awaiting the sounds of a brand new morning.

The fanciful treasures of King Tut’s tomb are being exhibited at the Dallas Museum of Art after bringing a record-breaking number of patrons to the exhibition’s last five venues.
Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs came to Dallas, Texas as part of a three-part encore tour following engagements in the U.S. and London. In addition to the items shown in the original tour, the Dallas exhibition features four new never-before-seen artifacts: a pectoral necklace featuring solar and lunar emblems and a scarab; a bracelet with a scarab clasp; and two miniature coffins nested with one inside the other, which originally contained the remains of a baby who is believed to be one of King Tut's stillborn children.
