Bringing the magic and mystery of ancient Egypt to San Diego direct from the storied archives of the National Geographic Society, the anticipated exhibition commemorates the 100th anniversary of the tomb discovery and invites visitors into the golden king’s world like never before.

Beyond King Tut visitors will meet ancient Egyptian gods like Ra and Anubis, descend into King Tut’s burial chamber, join his quest for immortality, and relieve the discovery of the king’s tomb with all his treasures waiting inside.

With nine galleries to explore on a multi-sensory, multimedia journey, guests will wind through the story of a young boy whose name still looms large and how he changed the ancient – and modern – word.
