Dear all my England readers (as well as sievetronix and faustnbulbous, though you are in a slightly different situation)
Because I am total dorkus maximus I wanted to let you know that you can reserve your tickets to Tutankhamen and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs right now! With no monetary commitment you can register and print out a form that guarantees you a ticket when the show comes to London starting next November.

You best believe I called dibs on two adult tix. I used to watch the video of the 1970s exhibit over and over and over again which proves how few friends I once had. Nick and Bill, the exhibit in Philly is in full buying mode but you can get the Philly version on that website tool.
Also of note: Part of the famous Chinese Terracotta army is coming to the BM as well. You can buy tickets now but I doubt you really need to as it will last a while: http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/firste
I will be attending both of those. Support museum loans and local ownership people! China and Egypt control their own past and are nicely sharing it in a way that raises money for archaeological work and preservation inside the home countries. This is to be encouraged. The BM doesn't need to own non british things, non british things will come and visit!
