What to expect

Bring history to life this summer at Tutankhamun: The Immersive Exhibition, now open at Birmingham’s NEC Campus. This award‑winning experience blends cutting‑edge technology with powerful storytelling to transport visitors into the world of ancient Egypt across an 85‑minute+ adventure.

Explore vast 360‑degree immersive projections, wander through a free‑roaming metaverse, journey into the afterlife via seated virtual reality, encounter original artefacts and replicas, transform into a pharaoh with an AI photo booth and more!

Created with leading Egyptologists and historians, the exhibition offers an educational, entertaining and air‑conditioned (!) escape for all ages. Plus enjoy extra themed activities as part of the ticket price until 31 August, from decorating a pharaoh crown to writing in hieroglyphics.

After visiting the exhibition, make a day of it at NEC Lakeside, a free outdoor space open daily with an outdoor screen, play area and more. Book tickets now and make unforgettable memories at Tutankhamun!
