"Internationally touring immersive exhibitions - offering teched-up, often fairly lurid accounts of key episodes in history - are becoming a bigger and a bigger thing in London. In large part the astonishing recent volume of them is because there are two new-ish spaces in London - Dock X and ImmerseLDN - that are big enough to house shows that have been touring Europe and the US for a while but have lacked an obvious London home."
"In fact, while Cleo is the star, it's perhaps best to view the show as a sort of sequel to last year's Tutankhamun exhibition (which is by the same people) that generally focusses on the late days of Ancient Egypt (rather than the zenith shown in Tutankhamun). Spanning nine galleries and 3,000 square metres, the show is was developed in collaboration with historical curators and Egyptologists, and endorsed by British Cleopatra expert, Dr Chris Naunton."
Internationally touring immersive exhibitions offering teched-up, lurid historical episodes have become increasingly common in London. Two new large venues, Dock X and ImmerseLDN, now host big touring shows. Dock X's Titanic exhibition will be replaced by a Vikings show, and ImmerseLDN's The Last Days of Pompeii will be replaced by Cleopatra: The Experience. Cleopatra: The Experience spans nine galleries across 3,000 square metres, was developed with historical curators and Egyptologists, and is endorsed by Dr Chris Naunton. The show traces the Ptolemaic dynasty with period artefacts, a giant immersive film, AR and VR, and staged environments such as a coronation, the Temple of Isis and the queen's private chamber.
