    A 27-months U.S. tour is expecting the exhibit "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" that can be currently seen at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art until Nov. 15th.

    See article here

    There's one interesting question raised by archeologist Zahi Hawass, secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities: tickets for this exhibit are $30 for one adult, which is certainly a record. Is that legitimate? Hawass' opinion is that it is certainly legitimate, and that after all, it wouldn't be more expensive for a whole family than spending an evening at the mall. On the other hand, one could argue that culture shouldn't cost $100 an evening for a family with two kids.

    What do you think?
