Beyond Tutankhamun
Beyond Tutankhamun: the immersive experience arrives in CDMX with augmented reality and the entire Egyptian worldview.
Tutankhamun is a mystery. But in this immersive exhibition, you can access information reserved for Egyptologists, as you traverse a 360-degree immersive hall or stroll through the recreation of the boat built to guide the child pharaoh in his journey after death. You will also get to see an exact replica of Tutankhamun’s mummy.
This exhibit is part of the 100th-anniversary celebration of the discovery of Tut’s tomb, as well as the supposed curse that the press and cinema heavily publicized throughout the 20th century, which has permeated popular culture and the collective imagination.
Additionally, this fascinating exhibition features several replicas of instruments exhibited in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and the opportunity to enter an exact replica of Tut’s tomb and see the famous dagger made from meteorite stone. This exhibit will be divided into 11 rooms to learn all about Egypt’s worldview and Tutankhamun, as well as its gods and funerary rituals—one of the pillars of Western culture.
Eleven containers have already arrived in our country with the material that will be exhibited in Beyond Tutankhamun. Work is underway on a three-dimensional replica, over 2 meters tall, of Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s death mask.
You will be able to see replicas of more than 5,300 objects found in the intact tomb discovered in 1922 in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, by the British archaeologist Howard Carter and George Herbert, Lord Carnarvon. The museological concept in Mexico will be first-class, with the possibility of using virtual and cinematographic technology for it.
Beyond Tutankhamun has exclusive documentation from National Geographic, reminding visitors that there are many other exhibitions worldwide about the young pharaoh. It offers virtual reality of the Valley of the Kings, the pyramids of Egypt, and the Sphinx, leading up to Tutankhamun’s tomb. Visitors will enter each of the chambers and observe these more than 5,000 articles of the trousseau while seated comfortably in state-of-the-art chairs for that effect, accompanied by spectacular sound.
