The limited engagement brings visitors back in time to Ancient Egypt. Meet Ancient Egyptian gods Ra and Anubis before entering King Tut’s burial chamber. There are nine interactive galleries to explore, each delving into the story of King Tut’s life and death.

 

“It was such an honor to tour King Tut’s treasures around the world, but those objects have returned to Egypt forever. Beyond King Tut brings together some of that same team along with the all-stars of immersive art to present one of the world’s most fascinating stories in a whole new way, with no boundaries! Guests will get to experience the splendor of Egypt all around them and voyage with us to the Ancient Egyptian afterlife,” said Mark Lach, creative producer, Beyond King Tut: The Immersive Experience.
