Cleopatra: The Experience will open its doors at Immerse LDN, Excel London Waterfront for a strictly limited 15-week run. This is one exhibition not to miss!
With nine interactive galleries, this unique experience takes visitors on a captivating journey through Ancient Egypt as they discover the reign of Cleopatra, her story and the legacy she left behind.
Developed in collaboration with historical curators and Egyptologists, and endorsed by British Egyptologist, Dr. Chris Naunton, the exhibition uses the latest projection technology to bring the world of Cleopatra to life, with a whole new level of creativity, immersive storytelling and engagement.
Entering through the setting sun visitors will relive the full story of the Ptolemaic Dynasty through an innovative, glasses-free hologram presentation. Next, enter a free roaming Metaverse space and explore the catacombs of Alexandria, get up close to Alexander the Great’s coronation at the Siwa Oasis and step inside Mark Antony’s tent during the Battle of Actium, before entering Cleopatra’s royal chamber to witness her gazing out over the Bay of Alexandria and the Lighthouse.
A curated selection of over 22 original artefacts from the Hellenistic and Late Egyptian periods follows, before a trip to Cleopatra’s private chamber: a space inspired by the royal palaces and designed to evoke the grandeur of Cleopatra’s world.
From there, discover the fascinating city of Alexandria with its historic buildings displayed on an interactive map and a video-mapping and sound show projected onto a five-metre-tall recreation of the Lighthouse of Alexandria - before entering a 360-degree, 8-metre-high cinematic video mapping room, where you will soar over the city of Alexandria!
The 90 minute+ exhibition concludes with a full motion seated Virtual Reality experience, where you will experience the earthquake and catastrophe that sank Alexandria under the sea, followed by the search for Cleopatra’s tomb.
Cleopatra: The Experience sets a new benchmark for creative and technological storytelling. Designed with children, families, culture lovers, technology thrill-seekers and history enthusiasts in mind, it’s not to be missed!
Located at Immerse LDN on the Excel London Waterfront, the exhibition is easily accessible via train, London Underground, bus and car and is just 12 minutes from Central London on the Elizabeth Line.
