During its run at LACMA, the exhibition Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs will likely be the second most popular show in the museum’s history, drawing nearly a million people over four months (the most popular show, in 1978, also featured the gold-gilded pharoah). Its four-city tour continues to the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale, where it’ll be marketed with a hip-hop slogan and this flash animation featuring a jiggy Tut bouncing to a techno/hip-hop loop. The tagline, a testament to Tut’s wealth that’s equivalent to $200 million today: “The Original King of Bling.”
