The Work
Creative Direction and Production for this experience focused on how to tell a new story about Tutankhamun through artifacts that everyone is already familiar with.
Through subject matter research and consultation with curators at the Grand Egyptian Museum, we uncovered a story of deception and palace intrigue that had direct relevance to the famous rediscovery of the tomb. The goal was to hook visitors with the mystery and then draw them in to a deeper understanding of the boy Pharaoh behind the objects.
