Since the discovery of the untouched tomb of Tutankhamen in Egypt in 1922, mystery has surrounded the revelation of the mummy of young pharaoh within.
Questions about the young pharaoh’s death, as well as his identity, have been enchanting history lovers for over a century.
Dive into history and mystery at the upcoming “Mystery of Tutankhamen,” an immersive exhibit at Yokohama’s Minatomirai Tutankhamen Museum (PLOT48), running from Dec. 13, 2024, through Dec. 25, 2025.
The extensive exhibit uses 3-D CG projection technologies, space design, sound and graphics to transport visitors 3,000 years into the past to experience Tutankhamen’s rule over the ancient Egypt kingdom.
The museum will also have what it describes as “super replicas” of Tutankhamen items (one of only three sets existing in the world) and a perfectly reenacted tomb of Tutankhamen. Don’t miss the 3D computer graphics of King Tut’s mask and throne scanned directly from real artifacts on display in the Cairo-Egypt Museum.
Under the direction of world-famous Japanese Archeologist Yukinori Kawae, the exhibit also showcases some recent archeological discoveries, providing more information to King Tut’s story.
Tickets for the exhibit are available now. Don’t miss this immersive experience into the life and mystery of King Tutankhamen!
