Step into ancient Egypt in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore 180 priceless artefacts and treasures - including the original wooden coffin that once held Ramses II’s mummy.
Ramses II, known as Ramses the Great, ruled Egypt for more than 60 years and built many of ancient Egypt's greatest monuments.
NEON at Battersea, in partnership with Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, and the Egyptian Museum, has brought a spectacular international exhibition celebrating the reign, power, and legacy of Ramses the Great to London.
The exhibition features treasures including ornately carved sarcophagi, animal mummies, magnificent jewellery, stunning royal masks, and exquisite amulets. Many of the objects have never before left Egypt.
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, as part of a global tour following acclaimed runs in Paris, San Francisco, Sydney, and Tokyo.
Through immersive galleries and state-of-the-art storytelling, visitors will step back in time to discover the extraordinary world of Ramses II - one of history's most iconic pharaohs. The exhibition also features a 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.'
Ramses and the Pharaohs' Gold opens its doors at NEON at Battersea Power Station this Saturday 28th February and promises to be one of London's most unforgettable exhibitions of 2026. Tickets are priced from £24.90 for adults, with discounted tickets available for children and seniors, and can be booked here
