“It has all the makings of a huge success for us,” director Irvin Lippman said.

But Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs also poses a dilemma for the museum: How to meet traditional standards of scholarship and accessibility while adapting to new demands for financial self-sufficiency and popular appeal? ...
