Cleopatra: The Experience makes its UK debut this March at Immerse LDN for a strictly limited 15-week run. Spanning 3,000 square metres and nine interactive galleries, this immersive exhibition takes visitors on a breath-taking journey through Ancient Egypt to uncover the life, reign and legacy of Queen Cleopatra.
Step through a stunning holographic retelling of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, explore Ancient Egypt in a free-roaming metaverse, and experience key moments including Alexander the Great’s coronation, the Battle of Actium, and Cleopatra’s royal chambers. Encounter over 22 original artefacts, from terracotta sculptures to ancient papyri, and watch Cleopatra come to life in interactive mirror displays revealing the secrets behind her iconic style and symbolism.
Discover the city of Alexandria through vast interactive maps, 5D sensory effects, and a spectacular video-mapping show on a towering recreation of the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Soar above the ancient world in a 360° cinematic room, then conclude your journey with a full-motion VR experience exploring the submerged ruins of Alexandria and the search for Cleopatra’s tomb.
Developed with leading historians and Egyptologists and endorsed by Dr. Chris Naunton, Cleopatra: The Experience brings Ancient Egypt to life with cutting-edge technology, immersive storytelling and unforgettable moments.
