The Egyptian Theatre, Historic theatre in Downtown Boise, United States.
The Egyptian Theatre features lotus bud pillars, truncated pyramids, and decorative frescoes that reflect architectural elements from ancient Egyptian structures.
Built in 1927 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the theatre underwent several name changes before returning to its original designation.
The venue presents classic films, opera performances, live music concerts, and serves as a central entertainment venue for the Boise community.
Located at 700 West Main Street, the theatre opens Tuesday through Thursday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Friday to Saturday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
The theatre's design draws direct inspiration from the temples of Karnak, following the Egyptian revival movement sparked by King Tutankhamun's tomb discovery.
