The King Tut exhibit features some 130 reproductions of artifacts discovered in the boy pharaoh's tomb in 1922. The reproductions were prepared by artisans from the Pharaonic Village in Giza, Egypt. Museum hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday from 12 noon to 4 p.m. Admission is $9 for adults, $8 for children under 18 and seniors 62 and over. It's $6 per person for groups of 15 or more. For additional information, call Washoe County Parks at (775) 823-6500.
