Using media and objects, the exhibition reconstructs the magnificent burial site down to the finest detail, creating an immersive experience that sets new standards in museology.

The first area of the two-part exhibition transports visitors back in time, thousands of years to the time of King Tutankhamun. Guests are presented with a wealth of information about the wider culture of ancient Egypt, and offered fascinating insights into the Egyptians’ belief in the afterlife, and their efforts to conquer death. Then, visitors follow the sensational and gripping story of Howard Carter as he worked to uncover the lost tomb of King Tutankhamun. A story of tenacity, politics, passion, and fate—visitors will experience for themselves the challenges and triumphs of one of history’s most significant archaeological discoveries.

The exhibition culminates in a thrillingly unique experience: the chance to step inside a fully three-dimensional, astonishingly accurate recreation of the excavation site, the legendary tomb, and its treasures exactly as they were at the moment of their discovery.
