Discovering King Tut's Tomb

King Tutankhamun’s tomb has been endlessly photographed, documented and debated, but this exhibition takes a more hands-on approach to the 1922 discovery. Inside Saunders Castle at Park Plaza, you’ll find detailed recreations of the pharaoh’s famous death mask and nested coffins, along with displays covering mummification, Egyptian gods and the Boy King’s legacy. The most interesting addition is the VR experience, which drops you into a recreation of the tomb and lets you retrace Howard Carter’s discovery from a different perspective. An audio guide narrated by Carter is available too. Since the original treasures are now permanently housed in Egypt, these replicas offer a way to get unusually close to the objects without a trip to Cairo.
