The "Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs" exhibit is opening Friday at the Science Museum of Minnesota, KARE 11 reported.

The tickets for the exhibit went on sale Tuesday.

In celebration of the exhibit, a 10.5 ton sculpture of Anubis, an Egyptian god, was installed.

The exhibit is including 100 artifacts, which the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt is loaning to the museum, according to the Star Tribune.

Large-scale exhibits such as this bring in more people, along with more revenue for the city, the Star Tribune said.
