The more than 1,200 square metres displays a 360-degree vivid 30-minute film exploring the natural landscapes, cultural heritage, the life of the boy king, and the discovery of his tomb.

Ancient Egypt’s boy king, Tutankhamun, and his golden tomb have captivated people’s imagination since they were discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter more than 100 years ago.

Visitors can immerse themselves in the story of these two men in a digital exhibition at London’s Excel Centre. The discovery of Tutankhamun’s undisturbed 3,000-year-old tomb and its treasures was a watershed moment in archaeology.

Jelle de Jong, the CEO of Madrid Artes Digitales, which produced the exhibition, describes the immersive room where the history of Egypt comes to life on an 8-metre-high canvas. The more than 1,200 square metres displays a 360-degree vivid 30-minute film exploring the natural landscapes, cultural heritage, the life of the boy king, and the discovery of his tomb.

The exhibition also includes artefacts, both replicas and genuine ones, but the real draw is the technology that aims to give people a taste of what it was like to be there on the famous dig.
