The walk-through show at the Wyland Center, featuring educational displays and projection-mapped rooms, was co-created by the National Geographic Society
Sometime later this year, the $1 billion, 20-years-in-the-making Grand Egyptian Museum will open by the Great Pyramids on the Giza Plateau near Cairo, Egypt.
Similar to the immersive painting-themed show “Beyond Van Gogh,” which had an extended run last winter at the Wyland Center, “Beyond King Tut” is a walk-through exhibition where films and animations are projected on the walls and floors of the building. The films tell the story of King Tut, as well as the gods the ancient Egyptians worshipped and how the Egyptians buried their pharaohs in splendor, believing they would have an even better life in the afterworld.
A view of the national touring exhibition “Beyond King Tut” at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on Thursday. The exhibition opens Friday, Jan. 17, and features projection-mapped rooms. Tut’s treasures are still considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in history. They include Tut’s mummy in a gold-leaf-painted sarcophagus, a solid gold funeral mask, chariots, jewelry, furniture, statues, paintings, burial implements, food, wine, sandals and loincloths.
