You can—by purchasing one of two new, limited edition Museum memberships designed to maximize visitors' experience at Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs. Both the Royal Tut membership and the Tut at Twilight membership ensure easier access to highly sought-after tickets to this extraordinary exhibition via telephone or at the Museum's box office. Membership perks for both include up to four tickets to see Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs for $10 each (regular price is $25 each!). Tut at Twilight membership holders will also be given two free tickets (valued at $50 each) to one of 20 premium viewing events scheduled throughout the exhibition period. These special evening events allow visitors to see the exquisite treasures of Tut's tomb up-close and with lower exhibition capacities to offer a better visitor experience. Tut at Twilight tickets include a complimentary exhibition audio tour. Both the Royal Tut membership and the Tut at Twilight membership offer visitors normal Museum membership privileges including free general museum admission, discounts at Museum events, stores and restaurants, a subscription to In the Field (the Museum's members-only magazine), and travel opportunities with Museum researchers and curators. The Royal Tut membership costs $125 and the Tut at Twilight membership costs $250. These memberships will be available beginning December 13, 2005. Memberships are good for one year from the date of purchase. For more information, call the Membership Department at (312) 665-7700. The Field Museum also offers King Tut corporate memberships.
