On March 16th, AKB48's Shinoda Mariko (26) attended the opening ceremony of �King Tut Exhibit: Golden Treasures and the Young King�s Truth� exhibit (to officially open on April 17th) in Tempozan Tokusetsu Gallery in Osaka.



As their special supporter, Shinoda wore a golden dress to this event and explained, �I wore this gold dress because in my mind, Egypt = Gold,� and seemed quite pleased with her appearance. She also recommended that the audience see �the golden canopic jar (a jar used to store the king�s organs as a part of mummification)�.



An audience member inquired, �Which AKB member is most similar to King Tut?� Shinoda quickly responded, �Akimoto Sayaka. Since she is half Filipino, I think she would look best in his attires�.



The exhibition will be held in Osaka until June 3rd and will move its exhibition to Ueno�s Mori Art Museum beginning August 4th.
