The treasures of King Tut are in South Florida.

For the first time in 26 years, the treasures of Tutankhamun (King Tut), an extensive exhibition of more than 130 artifacts from the tomb of the celebrated Pharaoh and other Valley of the Kings ancestors has come to America.

Beginning Dec. 15, the Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale hosts the collection.

Featured treasures in the exhibition, which are all between 3,300 and 3,500 years old, include Tutankhamun's royal diadem -- the gold crown discovered encircling the head of the king's mummified body that he likely wore while living -- and one of the gold and precious stone inlaid coffinettes that contained his mummified internal organs.
