The Louvre Museum has teamed up with Snapchat on a five-part augmented reality (AR) experience called &ldquo;Egypt Augmented.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Egypt Augmented&rdquo; comprises four location-specific experiences based around three exhibits inside the Louvre museum&rsquo;s Department of Egyptian Antiquities, and one in the exterior courtyard, the Cour Carr&eacute;e.

After the visitors scan the QR code of certain artifacts, they will be able to go back in time and see 3D reconstructions of the scanned artifacts from any time period.&nbsp;
The AR exhibition includes&nbsp;the "Dendera Zodiac,&rdquo; which is a ceiling relief featuring a Ptolemaic sky map from 50BC,&nbsp;the &ldquo;Chamber of Ancestors," a carved tomb interior from 1450 BC representing Ancient Egyptian dynasties, and&nbsp;the "Naos of Amasis" from the 550 BC, a four-sided shrine with wooden doors open to reveal a statue of Osiris.&nbsp;
