The Las Vegas Natural History Museum was able to open a new permanent exhibit last week due to a $3 million donation made by MGM Mirage (MGM: 11.54 +0.61%).

The gaming company donated objects formerly on display in the King Tut Museum & Tomb at the Luxor Las Vegas including the world-famous guardian statues, King Tut’s sarcophagus and an array of statues, vases, baskets and pottery.

“The generosity of MGM MIRAGE- will benefit our community and the thousands of children and families who visit the Museum annually for many years to come,” said Marilyn Gillespie, executive director of the Museum.

“As a zealous supporter of arts in this community, MGM MIRAGE is delighted that this exhibit is staying right here in Las Vegas,” said Felix Rappaport, president and chief operating officer of Luxor and Excalibur.
