Tutankhamun: The Immersive Exhibition.
The vogue for immersive shows is starting to feel stale, so when I gave in to my son’s pleas to visit Tutankhamun: The immersive exhibition in London, it was with a sense of foreboding.
I needn’t have worried.
First up were replicas of items like Tutankhamun’s famous death mask and sarcophagus, plus some real artefacts on loan, which excited my son. Then on to the immersive part, where, in familiar style, projections on the walls, floor and ceilings were designed to draw us in as we ventured down the Nile and into the tomb.
Much better was the virtual reality…
