Ancient Egypt Comes to Bratislava: Everything Hostel Guests Need to Know About the Tutankhamun Exhibition
If you thought Bratislava was just castles and craft beer, think again. Right now, one of the world's most talked-about travelling exhibitions has set up camp in the city — and it's the kind of thing you'll be showing photos of for years.
What Is the Tutankhamun Exhibition?
Tutankhamun: His Tomb and His Treasures is a large-scale immersive experience recreating the discovery of the boy pharaoh's tomb exactly as Howard Carter found it in 1922. Around 1,000 replica artefacts, all crafted in Egypt, fill the galleries alongside modern projections and atmospheric lighting. It's part museum, part time machine — and it runs at Sport Mall Bratislava (Hodonínska 27, Záhorská Bystrica) until May 31, 2026. Plan for 90 to 120 minutes inside, or book one of the 2-hour guided tours led by archaeologist Anna Bajanová or Egyptologist Jozef Hudec, PhD. (arrive 15 minutes early for those).
The Egypt exhibition Slovakia fans have been waiting for is very much here — and it's already drawing serious crowds.
