Tut gets extreme makeover

Click for slideshow: A coffinette that contained Tutankhamun's mummified liver is exquisitely crafted, even though the container is only 4 inches (11
centimeters) wide and 16 inches (39.5 centimeters) long. Click on the picture to see the full coffinette and other artifacts from New York's King Tut exhibition.

King Tutankhamun's treasures have been on the road for a long, long time: Over the past five years, precious artifacts have been criss-crossing America, heading over to London, then back to Egypt, then back to America. Everywhere those artifacts have gone, museum-goers have gone crazy over the boy-king, just as they did during a traveling Tut exhibit in the 1970s. (Remember Steve Martin's classic Tut tribute, circa 1978?)

Tut mania continues to reigns supreme, especially now that the big tour has reached New York City, its last U.S. stop.
