Daddy duty! Kanye West took -- literally, on his shoulders -- daughter Nori to the California Science Center to see the massive King Tut exhibit.

Little North, decked out in pink tulle, headed into the museum to see the "Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh" show -- the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts from King Tut's tomb ever sent abroad. It's not all fashion shows and Museum of Ice Cream visits for the Kardashians ... they do some educational outings, too!

And Kanye's not just any dad -- he's the dad that practically invented the dad shoe and he wowed us with a new one today -- a sample of the Yeezy Boost 700 VX -- in bright yellow/lime fluorescent and black. We've seen these on social media because Ye gifted Tekashi 6ix9ine with a pair. Are these the next big thing? Probably!
