King Tut School Group Information

Student Tickets On Sale Now

A visit to Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs presents a wonderful, rare opportunity for school children of all ages to have a first-hand look at the treasures of King Tut’s tomb and the tombs of his extended family. In studying these 3,000-year old objects, students can learn about the daily life and royal burial practices of Egypt’s Golden Age, the 18th Dynasty.

Purchasing General Admission Tickets for School Groups

A special student rate of $15 per student is available to bring your class to see Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs. This group rate is offered for students age 18 and under for visits on Tuesday–Thursday. One adult chaperone is required for every ten students and tickets for required chaperones are complimentary.

Student group reservations can be made as of Feb 11 by contacting the group sales office at TutGroups@famsf.org, by calling 415.750.3620, or by completing the online order form.

There are two ways to bring your group of K-12 students to the de Young to see this exhibition.
