King Tut one stop in Canada at Toronto's Art Gallery of Ontario

The new show, currently setting attendance records in Atlanta and will make its only Canadian stop in Toronto from Nov. 24, 2009 to April 18, 2010. Organizers in charge of the recent showcase say that record crowds of roughly 750,000 visitors packed the AGO 30 years ago to see the first Tut exhibition and anticipate a larger crowd attraction which will be creatively disbursed across the interior of the gallery through careful exhibit programming supported by carefully screened volunteers,

Since King Tut was first announced in April 2009 the Gallery has seen a large influx in new members and thus anticipate a very high demand for King Tutankhamun.

When visitors to the AGO arrive they will first be greeted by a 26-foot statue of Anubis (the ancient Egyptian god of the underworld) towering over them outside the Gallery entrance.
