Tutankhamen Project LLC is hosting a special 'Tutankhamen Day' (a play on the Japanese word 'wan' for dogs) at the 'Mystery of Tutankhamen: Immersive Ancient Egypt Exhibition' currently held at the Tutankhamen Museum (PLOT48) in Minato Mirai, Yokohama, on June 2, 2026, to celebrate Yokohama's Port Opening Anniversary. This one-day-only event allows visitors to explore the museum with their pets. Pets must remain in a cage or carrier during the tour, but owners can take photos at designated spots. The event will also feature loaner cosplay items, exclusive merchandise, and donations from sales will be given to the Yokohama City Zoo Fund.
Simultaneously, the exhibition will offer free participation in its ongoing quiz and stamp rally for residents of Yokohama aged high school or younger. This initiative aims to provide students with opportunities to engage with ancient Egyptian history on the local holiday, contributing to community vitality. The exhibition, supervised by Professor Yukinori Kawae of Nagoya University, utilizes state-of-the-art digital technology and super-replicas to offer an immersive environment. We invite you to experience the life of the mysterious King Tutankhamen, 100 years after his tomb was discovered, in an extraordinary journey through time.
