For over 100 years, the myths surrounding Pharaoh Tutankhamun have captivated people around the world. Now ancient Egypt is being resurrected: Tutankhamun - The Immersive Exhibition takes you into the legendary ancient Egypt and its secrets through new, digital multimedia Egyptian art.
Immersive Egyptian Art
Dive into the spectacular world of Tutankhamun
The allure of ancient Egypt
"Tutankhamun — The Immersive Exhibition" transports you to the heart of ancient Egypt, where the gods of the pyramid land awaken and grand temples spring to life before your eyes, as vivid and majestic as they were in antiquity. This immersive narrative draws us into a civilization that continues to captivate us with its enigmas buried in the desert sands and dissolved in the waters of the Nile.
A truly unique atmosphere
The discovery of the opulently furnished and nearly untouched tomb of the young pharaoh Tutankhamun on November 4, 1922, instantly made British archaeologist Howard Carter a global sensation. In this immersive show, you'll be accompanied and guided by the authentic voice of Howard Carter himself, as you explore what is arguably the most remarkable archaeological find in history.
Step into the virtual world
An augmented reality experience transports you to Tutankhamun's burial chamber in Luxor's Valley of the Kings. In the interactive experience room, you can delve into hieroglyphic writing and immerse yourself in the world of archaeology, uncovering life-sized treasures just as Howard Carter did in 1922. In the virtual reality section of the exhibition, you become the protagonist of a journey through the winding passages of the Book of the Dead, facing the Judgement of Osiris, and if you pass all the trials, you'll achieve eternal life in the fields of Aaru—the "afterlife" of the ancient Egyptians.

Treasure Rooms Be captivated by the rich stories of Ancient Egyptian civilization as you explore exceptionally curated treasure rooms. Discover beautifully crafted replicas and a selection of original artefacts dating back to 4,000 BC – including offering tables for the deceased, funerary shabtis, statues of nobles and offerers, and a 3,000-year-old faience bead necklace once worn by someone close to the royal court. These rare objects, on loan from the Félix Cervera Archaeology Gallery in Barcelona, offer a powerful glimpse into the beliefs, rituals, and artistry of Tutankhamun's world.
The exhibition is a highly immersive experience and includes fast-moving visuals, flashing lights, loud sounds, virtual reality, and metaverse environments.
While many visitors enjoy this intensity, some individuals — including young children, autistic visitors, people with sensory sensitivities, epilepsy, or other neurological conditions — may find the experience overstimulating.
We strongly encourage parents, caregivers, and visitors to carefully consider whether the exhibition is suitable for their personal needs. If you have any doubts, we recommend taking breaks during the visit or consulting our staff on site.
Our goal is to be as inclusive as possible while ensuring that all visitors can make an informed and comfortable choice.
