São Paulo – Starting January 3, BH Shopping in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, will host the exhibition Tutankhamun: An Immersive Experience featuring virtual reality and metaverse technologies. The exhibit delves into Ancient Egypt and its most famous pharaoh. It will run until March 30 at the shopping mall.
Among the exhibition’s highlights is the use of technology to trace the paths taken by Tutankhamun and the display of replicas of masks, sarcophagi, sandals, and mannequins found in his tomb. The exhibit will cover an area of 1,800 square meters, featuring a room surrounded by 4K projections and a virtual reality film where visitors can take on the role of Tutankhamun.
The exhibition “Tutankhamun: An Immersive Experience” is curated by historian and journalist Nacho Ares, author of 15 books on Egyptian culture. Ares holds a degree in Ancient History from the University of Valladolid, Spain, and a certification in Egyptology from the University of Manchester, UK. The exhibition has already toured Europe.
