How to Walk Like an Egyptian

If you don't have plans to escape the city for the Fourth of July weekend, head over to Friday Nights @ the deYoung Museum. Celebrate King Tut's return with free family programming this Friday July 3rd. Follow the trail of gypsies in Wilsey Court complete with a live performance from Stellamara and dancers Miriam Peretz and Hannah Romanowsky. Children get gilded with foil art from 6pm-8:30pm.

Beyond the free activities, tickets are required to visit the museum galleries, and special exhibit tickets are available for Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs (which include admission to permanent exhibits).

Before you go, make sure the kiddos get a glamour shot next to the large TUT sign out front. It will look really cool at twilight.
