Anubis is very thankful to the wonderful people who have helped dress him so far this fall and provided him with some incredibly stylish winter ensembles. Over the past few months he has also seen some wonderful places like Niagara Falls, Casa Loma, City Hall and Northern Ontario. He even tried out snowmobiling up in Collingwood (and got some strange looks from local dogsledders)!
While in town he’s also been working part time to get to know in the city – so far he’s been mime, a professional model, A spokesman for the Canadian Olympics, a Godzilla double and local basketball player and is eager to try out some other lines of work.
Anubis’ having trouble finding a dry cleaner do to his unusual size and needs some more outfits. He hopes it wouldn’t be to rude of him to ask you if you could continue to outfit him? He also would love to see more places that you suggest!
So please keep sending in your photos! Everyone who submits a photo will be entered into a draw to win two tickets to see King Tut!

You might have noticed a visitor on the corner of Dundas Street and McCaul Street who is extremely hard to miss. He is 26 feet tall, weighs 7 tons, his name is Anubis and he’ll be in Toronto on business for the next several months welcoming all visitors to the Art Gallery of Ontario’s Canadian exclusive exhibition, King Tut: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs.
As with all visitors to Toronto, we want to make sure his stay with us is a great one and help him out in any way we can…and we’ve just found out he really needs help. Before his arrival at the end of September, Anubis was extremely busy with work (guarding the underworld and weighing the hearts of dead royalty to see if the person deserves an eternal existence) and he forgot all about the climate change between Egypt and Toronto. This oversight has unfortunately resulted in his packing some improper wardrobe items. Currently all he has to wear is a golden mini skirt and it’s getting pretty chilly out. Also, when leaving Egypt, he grabbed his golden staff but forgot to bring his travel guide! Silly Anubis.
How can you help? It’s easy!
Anubis needs help deciding what to wear and where to visit during his stay. We need you to show him some fashionable outfits that would look good on him. And like to the old saying goes….a picture is worth a 1000 words… so here is what we want you to do!
Download Instructions: Windows/PC: Right-click on the desired image and select ‘Save Image As…’ or ‘Save Picture As…’
Macintosh: Hold Ctrl while clicking on the desired image and select ‘Save Image As…’ or ‘Save Image to the Desktop’.
We’ve posted photos of Anubis on this page. Simply download one of the photos and save it to your computer. Then, while you’re at work, home, school or a friends place, using your favourite photo editing software and give Anubis some clothes appropriate for his visit…it can be anything you want!
Alternatively or at the same time, we want you to place Anubis in a typical Canadian setting….to give him an idea of where he should visit….maybe the CN Tower, or skiing on a mountain …it’s up to you!
