Cloud-piercing pyramids housing hidden tombs, endless golden sands that bleed into a fiery horizon line, and religious ceremonies shaped by ancient traditions…these are just a few of the wonders you can uncover at Tutankhamun: The Immersive Exhibition. Currently open at Immerse LDN for its 14-week limited run, this incredible portal to Ancient Egypt shines a light on the mysteries, marvels and monuments of the time – but it will be closing at the end of the month. Don’t miss your chance to experience a gripping combination of virtual reality, metaverse experiences, immersive storytelling and authentic artefacts, all of which bring history to life. Are you ready for the adventure?
What can you expect at Tutankhamun: The Immersive Exhibition?
Put on your khakis and hiking boots. This immersive exhibition takes you on a journey back to the reign of the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun. You’ll embark on a 90-minute experience that will see you encounter the interactive walls of the Anubis room, feast your eyes on original artefacts from the Cairo museum, step into breathtaking virtual worlds and witness the mummification process unfold in the cutting-edge hologram room.
Technology and history join forces to help create an authentic depiction of Tutankhamun, which in turn inspires a stronger connection to the enigmatic figure and his untimely fate. You’ll not only learn about the myths surrounding his life and death but also get the chance to venture into a recreated tomb and explore the Valley of Kings – a desert valley where the bodies of pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, were laid to rest – all without stepping foot outside London.
Tutankhamun: The Immersive Exhibition has already captivated over 1.8 million visitors in cities around the world, and now it’s enchanting the people of London. Equal parts educational and entertaining, the exhibition is a mesmerising look at the rich history of Egypt that has been endorsed by the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo. You can even get a unique memento in the AI photobooth, which transforms you into a citizen of Ancient Egypt – who needs a Tardis to travel back in time?
