About this event

Direct from the Egyptian Museum Cairo. Ramses and the Pharaohs’ Gold brings 180 priceless treasures to London for the first and only time, in an exhibition that explores the extraordinary life, power and legacy of Egypt’s greatest pharaoh. Transporting you from the temples of Abu Simbel to the Valley of the Kings, the exhibition’s crowning masterpiece is the Coffin of Ramses II — a once-in-a-generation opportunity to see the pharaoh’s original sarcophagus. Discover gold masks and silver coffins from the royal tombs of Tanis, beautifully preserved animal mummies and amulets, dazzling jewellery alongside colossal sculptures, carvings and stone heads. Following acclaimed, sold-out runs in Tokyo, Paris, San Francisco and Sydney, Ramses and The Pharaohs’ Gold: The Exhibition runs in London at NEON, Battersea Power Station from 28 February 2026. ABOUT RAMSES Builder, Warrior, God…King Ramses II, widely known as Ramses the Great, ruled Egypt for nearly 67 years and remains history’s most iconic pharaoh. Known for his extensive monument-building, military strategy and diplomacy, and a vast dynasty of more than 100 children, he also negotiated the world’s first recorded peace treaty after the Battle of Kadesh. So powerful was his reign, that the nine pharaohs who followed him all adopted the name of Ramses to emulate his strength and vision. This exhibition invites you to witness the rise of a ruler who sought not only to command an empire, but to secure his immortality for millennia to come. Enhance your visit with optional add-ons, including an immersive VR journey and a multimedia audio guide narrated by leading historian and broadcaster Dan Snow, providing expert commentary and deeper historical context throughout the exhibition.
