The Egyptian pharaoh is staying in Times Square at the Discovery Exposition Center for a month starting April 23, 2010.

Amongst the highlights:

  • New scientific findings about King Tut will go on display for the first time in a gallery devoted to the latest DNA studies and other forensic information about his life and death.  Read more from the New York Times and USA Today. 

Worth a visit to the big apple.
