Featuring 180 priceless artefacts and opulent treasures from the reign of Ramses and ancient Egypt, including ornately carved sarcophagi, animal mummies, magnificent jewellery, stunning royal masks, and exquisite amulets the exhibition features many objects that have never before left Egypt. Visitors will encounter the original wooden coffin that once held Ramses II’s mummy as one of the exhibition highlights, offering an extraordinary connection to history.

Over 3,000 years old, all of the artefacts in Ramses and the Pharaohs’ Gold have come from museums and historical sites in Egypt and are on loan to the exhibition from Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities. Through immersive galleries and state-of-the-art storytelling, visitors will step into the extraordinary world of King Ramses II, widely known as Ramses the Great. Part of the 19th dynasty, Ramses II ruled Egypt for nearly 67 years and is celebrated as the mighty warrior-king who helped define the height of Ancient Egyptian civilisation.

Known for his extensive monument-building, military strategy and diplomacy, and a vast dynasty of more than 100 children, Ramses remains one of history’s most iconic pharaohs. The exhibition also features an immersive virtual reality experience, transporting visitors deep into Ramses’ legacy from the resplendent Tomb of Queen Nefertari to the monumental temples of Abu Simbel.

Ron Tan, Group CEO of NEON, said:

We are truly honoured to present Ramses and the Pharaohs’ Gold at NEON at Battersea Power Station. At a time when the world is celebrating the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, this remarkable experience offers a timely and extraordinary journey into one of humanity’s greatest civilisations. By uniting priceless artefacts with immersive storytelling, we bring the wonder of Ancient Egypt to life in a way audiences have never experienced before. As Battersea continues its cultural evolution, we look forward to welcoming London to discover the richness, legacy, and enduring fascination of Ramses the Great through this world-class experience.

Dr. Mohamed Ismail Khaled, Minister of Antiquities of Egypt, said:

Ramses the Great was a remarkable pharaoh who helped shape the legacy of Egypt. Many of these treasured artefacts have never travelled outside the country before, and London is about to witness something extraordinary. This exhibition provides a rare opportunity for people to come face to face with the world of Ramses in all its glory before they are returned to Egypt and placed at the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum. It is my hope that by discovering the story of Ramses, audiences will be inspired to explore Ancient Egypt further and to deepen their appreciation for its enduring cultural importance.
