Tutankhamun: His Tomb and Treasures at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles
From July 3 to September 2, 2026, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles hosts Tutankhamun: His Tomb and Treasures, one of the most spectacular immersive exhibitions currently touring the world. Through life-size reconstructions, monumental projections and state-of-the-art immersive technology, visitors are transported back to the world of the young pharaoh whose tomb remains one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the twentieth century. A remarkable cultural experience, open to all ages, and one of the unmissable highlights of summer in Paris.
A Journey into the Heart of Ancient Egypt
Discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter in the Valley of the Kings, Tutankhamun's tomb revealed a treasure of unparalleled richness to the world. Golden burial mask, royal furniture, jewellery, statuettes and ritual objects — more than five thousand artefacts bear witness to the splendour of Egyptian civilisation and the elaborate care devoted to the journey into the afterlife.
The exhibition traces the life and reign of the young king, who died at nineteen after a decade on the throne, while offering an in-depth exploration of Ancient Egyptian beliefs, funerary rites and social organisation. A richly human story told through extraordinary historical and archaeological evidence.
What the Exhibition Has in Store
The immersive walkthrough faithfully reconstructs the different chambers of the tomb at full scale, allowing visitors to move through spaces that replicate the original in precise detail. Monumental projections and atmospheric soundscapes create a deeply immersive experience that genuinely transports visitors back to Egypt in 1323 BC.
Interactive displays and accessible educational content are woven throughout the exhibition, making it engaging for everyone from specialist historians to families visiting with young children. It is one of the most thoughtfully designed Tutankhamun exhibitions ever presented in Europe.
Whether you are passionate about Egyptology or simply looking for an outstanding cultural outing, this exhibition delivers on every level.
Why This Exhibition Is Worth Your Time This Summer
Tutankhamun is one of the most universally recognised figures in human history — yet his tomb remains largely inaccessible to the general public in Egypt. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to encounter this extraordinary legacy in exceptional conditions, without crossing the Mediterranean.
For visitors in Paris during the summer of 2026, it is the ideal cultural outing for a day with family or friends. The immersive format appeals equally to adults and children, making it one of the most anticipated cultural events of the Parisian summer season.
The exhibition is held at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, one of the largest event venues in the capital, easily reachable from all districts of Paris.
