Ubisoft Brings Ancient Egypt to Musée De L’homme with Ac Origins

Table of Content

Ubisoft has partnered with Paris’s Musée de l’Homme on a new interactive feature for its Mummies exhibition, drawing directly from Assassin’s Creed Origins’ educational mode, Discovery Tour: Ancient Egypt. The collaboration centers on a bespoke, nine-minute interactive installation that walks visitors through the stages of ancient Egyptian embalming. Built for a large wall display and guided via a tactile screen, the experience lets guests move freely across each step, from washing the body to placing protective amulets. The project builds on the series’ long-running work with historians, archaeologists, and Egyptologists to present vetted historical material in an accessible way.

What the Installation Offers

The museum piece translates in-game research into a museum-grade learning tool focused on process and context rather than spectacle. It is designed for visitors of all ages and emphasizes clarity over complexity.

• Length: a nine-minute sequence covering key stages of mummification.
• Interaction: free navigation via a tactile screen on a large wall display.
• Scope: steps span from washing the body to placing protective amulets.
• Accuracy: produced with input from historians, archaeologists, and Egyptologists.

Exhibition Timeline and Context

The installation is part of the Mummies exhibition at the Musée de l’Homme, which belongs to the Natural History Museum in Paris and functions as a center for research, education, and culture focused on human evolution. The exhibition opened in November 2025 and runs through May 2026. Alongside historical material, it invites ethical discussion around the preservation and display of human remains.

Part of a Broader Museum Push

The partnership reflects a shared goal of making history accessible through technology. Ubisoft highlights that this project follows earlier collaborations with the British Library, the Arab World Institute, and the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens. Together, these initiatives showcase how game-based research and assets can effectively support public exhibitions.

Final Takeaway – History Meets Interactivity

For players and museum-goers alike, this collaboration underscores how Discovery Tour: Ancient Egypt can extend beyond the screen into a structured, museum-ready learning format. If you’re interested in the real-world practices behind Assassin’s Creed Origins’ setting, the Musée de l’Homme exhibition offers a concise, nine-minute walkthrough of mummification that prioritizes accuracy, context, and hands-on exploration.
