History on Tap
Our 2022 History on Tap Series wraps with an absolute icon – King Tut! Since the first steps of King Tutankhamun’s tomb were uncovered in November 1922, the world has been obsessed by the life and possessions of the Boy King. The wave of Egyptomania that hit the US in the 1920s ushered in another Egyptian Revival, sometimes called “Tutmania,” that influenced art, architecture, fashion, and design as well as enhanced our understanding of ancient Egypt. Join Egyptologist Stacy Davidson on a journey through the life and times of King Tutankhamun, the excavation of his tomb, and the enduring legacy of his impact on our arts and pop culture.
