By The Bel: Whoa Mummy!
It is official. We have an extended run with the Mummy, Secrets of the Tomb, exhibit on loan from The British Museum at the Queensland Museum in Brisbane. What was supposed to be an April until August schedule was extended by popular demand until October 21st.
I took my family along and we were dazzled by the state of the art 3D presentation of unwrapping the secrets of Nesperennub. After the film was shown, we were moved on into the rest of the exhibition and were in awe of the relics on display. You really lose track of time and are swept up into the magic of history. It was wonderful.
Lines can be very long for ticketing at the venue, so get in early OR online or phone bookings can be made through Fox Tix *see the link below for more information* It’s up to you how you want to do things, but tickets are required. As there is a movie being shown, ticketing is done in session times, and organisers have asked that ticket holders turn up about 15 minutes before their session time with their tickets ready to be scanned.
There were also special sessions for adults called Mummies after dark.
“Meet your friends, grab a drink at the Foyer Bar and shake off the week to the beats of DJ Bacon. Feast on gourmet treats or dinner at Collectors Lounge Bar. Re-live the laughs, schlock and horror of some classic B-movie titles. Meet a modern day embalmer or unearth the truth about Mummies in film. Then slip on your 3D glasses and explore our new blockbuster exhibition.
18+ Event. All tickets $26.95 (including online booking fee).”
The last session of which will be held on August 10th. *see the link below for more information*
So you have a little longer to get wrapped up in some amazing history and spend a while walking like an Egyptian.
If you’ve been along to see the Mummies or any of the corresponding events, let us know what you thought, or even send us a pic of you in your spunky 3D glasses.
