"Treasures of Tutankhamun" is the most important and beautiful exibition of ancient Egyptian art ever to come to the United States. It differs in several key respects from the other presentations of selections from the remarkable contents of Tutankhamun's tomb. The dofference lies not only in the great number of works of art - fifty-five in honor of the fifty-fifth anniversary of the discvery of the tomb by Howard Carter in 1922- but in the basic theme of the overall presentation.
