Calling all budding Egyptologists and their families. The internationally acclaimed exhibition ‘TUTANKHAMUN – His Tomb and His Treasures’ opens at Silverstar from Tuesday, 2 December 2014 and runs throughout the festive season, into the early part of 2015.
A first for South Africa and the continent, this captivating exhibition gives visitors of all ages the unique opportunity to experience the treasures of the tomb at their moment of discovery. On entering the exhibition visitors are shown a fascinating multimedia presentation that illustrates the story behind the exploration and excavation by British archaeologist, Howard Carter, the history of TUTANKHAMUN and the culture of ancient Egypt.
TUTANKHAMUN offers families a truly exceptional experience as they are guided through the exploration “journey” with the help of an audio guide (included in the ticket price) for adults and children which makes the experience informative, enjoyable and fulfilling.
Ticket prices range from R80 to R160 per person and there is a special discounted family package of four tickets for just R440. Children of five years and younger are admitted free of charge. Furthermore, for added convenience and ease of access to the exhibition, tickets are sold in dedicated time slots. Visitors may choose when to arrive within the time slot they have selected while booking online or at the box office. Purchased tickets are valid for the entirety of the booked day as visitors might arrive before or after the booked ‘time slot’. Once entered the exhibition, visitors are welcome to stay as long as they want within opening hours. The exhibition is open seven days a week, except for Christmas Day. Tickets are now on sale at www.tut-exhibition.co.za and www.silverstarcasino.co.za.
