Deets: Beyond King Tut: The Immersive Experience, a new exhibition developed in partnership with the National Geographic Society, will open in downtown Los Angeles at Magic Box LA beginning October 7.

Beyond King Tut guests will see the archives of the National Geographic Society come to life in a multi-gallery journey through the “boy king’s” story, surrounded by larger than life imagery of his treasures. The exhibition will remain in Los Angeles for the centennial of King Tut’s tomb discovery on November 4 and through the end of December.

With nine multimedia galleries to explore, wind through the story of a young boy who ruled as pharaoh more than 3,000 years ago, and what we’re still learning about him today. Sightsee the wonders of modern and ancient Egypt. Join the exploration for King Tut’s tomb and descend into his burial chamber. Relive the discovery of the king’s tomb with all his treasures waiting inside. Finally, join King Tut for a voyage through the underworld in a sweeping cinematic experience in the final immersive gallery. This exhibition goes beyond a traditional artifact display using the power of photography and technology, ensuring that the artifacts from King Tut’s tomb remain in their country of origin.

Prices start at $32.50 for adults and $22.50 for children ages 5-15 (plus ticketing fees). Package rates for families, seniors, military and groups.
