Cleopatra in 5D: London VR
‘Cleopatra: The Experience’ at Immerse LDN is a 5D exhibit—VR, holograms and 360° staging—that lets visitors 'walk' through Alexandria and has been praised for lively storytelling despite light museum objects (x.com). It’s a tech‑first way to do immersive city history on a casual date or cultural night out. (x.com)
Cleopatra: The Experience opened at Immerse LDN, ExCeL London on 26 March 2026 for a strictly limited 15‑week run scheduled to finish in mid‑July 2026. (experienceuk.org) The show occupies roughly 3,000 square metres across nine interactive galleries and is billed as an approximately 90‑minute visitor journey. (excel.london) The production is the fourth major immersive project from Madrid Artes Digitales (MAD) and arrives in the UK in partnership with FKP Scorpio Entertainment and UK PR support from Mance Communications. (madridartesdigitales.com) Technical delivery uses high‑end projection hardware supplied by Barco — including multiple I600‑4K15 projectors and a UDM‑4K30 unit — alongside a glasses‑free hologram and a free‑roaming metaverse zone. (barco.com) Organisers say the exhibition includes more than 22 original Hellenistic and late‑Egyptian artefacts (terracotta sculptures, bronze figures, cosmetic vessels and unpublished papyri) and a seated, full‑motion VR segment called “Enter the Lost Tomb” that simulates an earthquake and submerged Alexandria. (cleopatraexperience.co.uk) General admission has been offered in the mid‑to‑high £20s for adults with reduced child and concession rates reported; group and school booking options are available. (immersiverumours.com) Dr Chris Naunton is listed as the exhibition’s official ambassador, and MAD point to prior touring success — the company’s immersive productions have visited multiple countries and attracted millions of visitors worldwide.
