Beyond King Tut: The Immersive Experience is an interactive exhibition developed in partnership with the National Geographic Society and produced by Paquin Entertainment Group. The exhibit transports guests to Ancient Egypt through the multi-gallery exhibition that explores King Tut’s infamous life and rule as a child pharaoh. The experience includes a journey through his life, his family tree, the discovery of his tomb and the mysteries surrounding his early death.

The tomb was discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter and his team on Nov. 4, 1922, and serves as the first landmark discovery of an intact royal burial tomb.
