Shake your Tut.

During its run at LACMA, the exhibition Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs will likely be the second most popular show in the museum’s history, drawing nearly a million people over four months (the most popular show, in 1978, also featured the gold-gilded pharoah). Its four-city tour continues to the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale, where it’ll be marketed with a hip-hop slogan and this flash animation featuring a jiggy Tut bouncing to a techno/hip-hop loop. The tagline, a testament to Tut’s wealth that’s equivalent to $200 million today: “The Original King of Bling.”
