Ramses and the Pharaohs' Gold: The Exhibition

NOW OPEN at Battersea Power Station! Direct from the Egyptian Museum Cairo, 180 priceless treasures in the UK for the first and only time.

Ramses II ruled for nearly seventy years. During his reign, he campaigned across continents and reshaped the landscape of ancient Egypt. Ramses and the Pharaohs’ Gold: The Exhibition brings together 180 extraordinary artefacts from his empire.
They are not replicas, but original works: created more than three thousand years ago to secure a king’s name for eternity. This landmark exhibition is a once-in a lifetime opportunity to witness the power, vision and enduring legacy of Egypt’s greatest pharaoh.

Featuring the pharaoh’s own coffin, royal treasures, and immersive galleries that transport visitors more than 3,000 years into the past, this exhibition arrives at Neon at Battersea Power Station in London following acclaimed runs in Paris, San Francisco, Sydney, and Tokyo.

Description
More influential than Tutankhamun, though far less mythologised, King Ramses II, widely known as Ramses the Great, ruled Egypt for nearly 67 years. 3,000 years later and he still remains one of history’s most iconic pharaohs. Known for his extensive monument-building, military strategy and diplomacy, and a vast dynasty of more than 100 children, this exhibition invites you to witness the power of a reign and explore the rise of a ruler who sought not only to command an empire, but to secure his immortality for millennia to come.

This Exhibition is produced by Victory Hill Exhibitions, part of NEON Group.
