King Tut is sticking around Jacksonville for a few more months.
"Beyond King Tut: The Immersive Show," which opened in June at the Noco Center in downtown Jacksonville, will remain open until Jan. 7, according to a news release. The show was originally booked until Sept. 3, then extended to Oct. 20 before this week's announcement.
It's an immersive show put together with cooperation from the National Geographic Society, using projection technology to flash enormous moving images onto the floors and walls of the main hall, similar to the "Beyond Van Gogh" show that ran earlier this year in the same venue. The show, which takes about an hour to see, tells the tale of Tutankhamun's life, his short reign as leader of Egypt and his journey to the afterlife.
