London-listed Live Company Group (AIM:LVCG ) unveiled it is building a new BRICKLIVE super tour based on the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, Tutankhamun.
The entertainment group said the tour will be based on the ‘record breaking’ exhibition King Tutankhamun 'Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh' which showcased more than 150 authentic pieces from the tomb, three times the quantity that previous exhibitions have shown.
The super tour will launch in summer 2021 and will tour the globe to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb in November 1922.
"This is the most exciting build that Bricklive has undertaken to date consisting of 45 models - many with live motion features - it is a completely immersive experience,” said Chairman of Live Company Group, David Ciclitira.
Shares in Live Company Group have traded consistently over the past two weeks at 8.5p and opened this morning at 8.5p following the announcement.
He added, “In 1970 one and a half million people saw the King Tutankhamun exhibition at the British Museum (including my younger self) and the current tour of 60 of the most well-known artefacts has been a complete sell out.
Our new tour will allow more of the world to experience the wonders of this slice of history albeit in toy brick format. We have received significant interest in our pre-launch information and look forward to announcing a full schedule in due course. "
Separately, Live Company said it has signed a new contract with Inveraray Castle in Scotland for Bricklive Fantasy Kingdom, which will open next week and run until the end of October.
