This Spring, Tutankhamun: The Immersive Exhibition, a spectacular new hi-tech experience will open its doors at Immerse LDN at Excel London Waterfront on 28 March 2025.
After hugely successful runs in twelve other cities around the world, the ground-breaking exhibition invites visitors to step back in time and immerse themselves in an exhilarating journey, discovering ancient Egypt, and the myths and mysteries surrounding Pharaoh Tutankhamun as never before.
Endorsed and supported by the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo and created in collaboration with Egyptologists and historians, the exhibition is set over a vast 26,909sqft space and features one of Europe’s largest immersive video mapping rooms with 8-metre-high projections. Blending cutting-edge technology with Egyptian history, the London exhibition will transport visitors through six creatively designed galleries that delve into the fascinating lives of the ancient Egyptians.
Guests will enter via an infinity room with a walking Anubis before being presented with captivating background stories about Egyptian civilization alongside carefully curated replicas and artefacts. The experience continues into a huge immersive video mapping room which recounts the rich history of Egypt, its natural landscapes, cultural heritage, the life of Tutankhamun, his tomb, and its ground-breaking discovery.
During the 30-minute immersive movie, the moment of the discovery of the tomb is described by the real voice of Howard Carter, the famous British archaeologist, adding an extraordinary layer of authenticity to the experience. Visitors will also embark on a 360-degree seated virtual reality experience, journeying into the mystical Egyptian afterlife before entering yet another hi-tech space where they will witness a hologram presentation, vividly bringing to life the entire mummification process of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
Finally, the experience invites visitors to step into an interactive digital metaverse walk-through of the Valley of the Kings, exploring Howard Carter's basecamp, and reliving the monumental moment of the 1922 discovery in its full glory. At the end of the experience, every visitor will be able to capture a memento of their day with a photograph in the AI photobooth where they will be transformed into a citizen of ancient Egypt.
The approximate 90-minute journey through ancient Egypt's rich history and mythology features a wealth of educational and informative displays, historical documents, original artefacts and replicas from ancient Egypt, and has been designed with children, families, schools and history enthusiasts in mind, as well as those interested in ground-breaking technology. The soundtrack has been composed specifically for the experience and is performed by an orchestra, immersing visitors further into the magic of ancient Egypt.
Tutankhamun: The Immersive Exhibition has garnered widespread acclaim, captivating over 1.8 million visitors in cities including Madrid, Hamburg, Cairo, Sao Paulo, Barcelona, Vienna and Malmö, and winning three Telly Awards to date.
