We really enjoyed the coverage that the Chronicle’s Carolyne Zinko and Janny Hu gave of the glamorous opening night for the beautiful King Tut exhibit at the de Young. If you haven’t read it yet, just follow this link to sfgate.com

Photos from the first opening night, the “Tut Director’s Gala,” can be seen here, featuring some of the Fine Arts Museum’s most generous donors. Our museums are funded, in large part, by the kind of people that you see here, who have a true passion for the arts, and for the enrichment of San Francisco culture. There is no doubt but that the quality of life of our great City would suffer without the arts and their supporters. We salute them!
