Exhibition Hub, a pioneer in traveling, immersive entertainment, in partnership with Semmel Exhibitions and Imagine Exhibitions, is pleased to announce that Tutankhamun: His Tomb and His Treasures is opening at the Exhibition Hub Art Center in Doraville this Thursday, September 28th. Guests will be taken on a once-in-a-lifetime journey looking at the burial chambers and treasures of King Tut. This exhibit is scheduled to run through the end of the year.
Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter. It is the only royal burial found intact in modern times and allowed archeologists to record what an Egyptian king’s tomb looked like providing a glimpse into ancient Egypt. Tutankhamun: His Tomb and His Treasures is a reproduction of burial treasure, in its original archaeological context, giving insight into the historically unique discovery of the Pharaoh’s tomb in the Egyptian Valley of the Kings. The exhibition is complete with 1,000 objects, graphics, movies, an audio guide, and more. All of it presented in an educational and entertaining way.
“We are excited to share this deep dive into the culture, history and lives of the citizens of ancient Egypt during the reign of King Tut with the citizens of Atlanta and beyond,” said executive producer John Zaller. “This world-class exhibit is one of the most accurate and comprehensive experiences of King Tutankhamun’s tomb available.”
To create this exhibition, replicas were produced to protect the fragile originals. Skilled Egyptian craftsmen--with guidance from Egyptologists--reproduced everything right down to the finest details. Together they have created the most complete and unique collection in the world. Tutankhamun: His Tomb and His Treasures allows a wide audience to access the fascinating world of the pharaohs without compromising the millennia-old originals.
“Our exhibition offers visitors a once-in-a-lifetime insight into the archaeology of ancient Egypt,” said Christoph Scholz, Director Exhibitions & International Projects at Semmel Exhibitions. “Guests are taken on a journey of exploration to experience the treasures of Tutankhamun and his famous tomb chambers exactly as they were when discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter. Through our exhibitions, they relive that magical moment of discovery.”
To date more than seven million visitors have seen the exhibition as it traveled across much of Europe and Asia. Tutankhamun: His Tomb and His Treasures will be showcased at the Exhibition Hub Art Center in Doraville, located in Northeast Atlanta’s metro area. Guests will enjoy easy access from major interstates, free parking, and a café.
