Table of Content

Ubisoft has partnered with the Musée de l’Homme in Paris to contribute a museum-ready piece grounded in Assassin’s Creed Origins. The studio developed a nine-minute interactive installation that reconstructs the stages of ancient Egyptian embalming. The experience draws on research behind Discovery Tour: Ancient Egypt and the franchise’s work with historians, archaeologists, and Egyptologists. It is presented on a large wall display paired with a tactile screen, allowing visitors to freely explore each step in sequence. The installation is part of the museum’s Mummies exhibition, which opened in November 2025 and runs through May 2026.

What the Installation Covers

The bespoke experience breaks down the practical and ritual aspects of mummification as depicted in Ptolemaic Egypt. It guides visitors through the process from washing and preparation of the body to the placement of protective amulets, mapping each phase in a clear, navigable flow. The setup is designed for visitors of all ages, combining a large-format wall display with a tactile interface so users can move at their own pace and revisit stages as needed.

Exhibition Dates and Context

The Mummies exhibition at the Musée de l’Homme—part of Paris’s Natural History Museum—positions mummification within a wider cross-cultural survey. It opened in November 2025 and runs through May 2026, and frames the topic within ongoing discussions around the preservation and display of human remains. As a center for research and education focused on human evolution, the museum situates the installation within a broader inquiry into how societies understand life, death, and memory.

Why Assassin's Creed Is Involved

Ubisoft’s contribution builds on the historical groundwork of Assassin’s Creed Origins and its educational offshoot, Discovery Tour: Ancient Egypt. The collaboration continues the series’ museum partnerships—previously with the British Library, the Arab World Institute, and the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens—to explore how game technology can support accessible, rigorously sourced cultural experiences. The shared aim is straightforward: make history approachable through interactive media.

For players and history fans alike, this collaboration shows how a major game’s research can translate into hands-on museum learning. If you follow Assassin’s Creed for its historical settings, the Paris installation signals a growing space where interactive design meets public education—grounded in curated, verifiable detail rather than spectacle.
