KING TUT AT THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE – SOLD OUT
The GW Alumni Association is proud to present Tutankhamen and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs. Please join us as Eric Cline, chair of the department of classical and Semitic languages and literatures, and GW associate professor of classics and anthropology, presents a closer look at King Tut and Egyptian archeology. After the lecture and lunch, guests will walk over to the Franklin Institute to view the King Tut exhibit.
