An immersive 'Beyond King Tut' show is coming to Jacksonville in June, replacing the Van Gogh show that's been in town since September.
"More so than recent immersive experiences devoted to artists like Van Gogh or Monet, 'Beyond King Tut' tells a concrete story arc, with a beginning, middle, and end. As guests move through the exhibit, they will find rooms devoted to the mummification process and the preparation of the burial chamber. Then they finish in a giant room devoted to a visual creation of how Egyptians envisioned the after-life.
There’s a large re-creation of a senet board that visitors can play. There are stamping stations where people can stamp King Tut’s cartouche and a separate-ticket 'Enter the Tomb' virtual reality experience that takes the headset-wearer through the tomb to see the items as they were first discovered.
