Ramses & Pharaohs’ Gold: Immersive Ancient Egypt in London
The highly anticipated “Ramses & the Pharaohs' Gold” immersive experience is set to debut at NEON in Battersea Power Station, London, on February 28, 2026. This unique event, part of a global tour, blends a traditional exhibition with cutting-edge immersive technology, inviting visitors to journey back over three millennia to the illustrious reign of Ramses the Great. Ramses II, one of ancient Egypt's most celebrated pharaohs, ruled for an impressive 67 years and is historically noted for fathering over 100 children.
A significant highlight of the experience is the display of over 180 authentic artefacts, many of which will be seen for the first time in the UK. This extraordinary collection includes ornately carved sarcophagi, well-preserved animal mummies, magnificent jewellery, stunning royal masks, and exquisite amulets. A standout piece is the original wooden coffin that once contained the mummy of Ramses II. A key benefit of this ticketed event is the promise of ample viewing opportunities, allowing visitors to appreciate these invaluable treasures without the typical congestion often found in crowded permanent museum galleries.
While precise details on the immersive and virtual reality elements are still emerging, the experience pledges to transport visitors deep into Ramses’ enduring legacy. This includes captivating virtual journeys to the resplendent Tomb of Queen Nefertari and the monumental temples of Abu Simbel, offering a vivid and multi-sensory exploration of ancient Egyptian civilization and its grandest ruler.
For those eager to attend, the waitlist for “Ramses & the Pharaohs' Gold” opens on December 4, 2024, with public ticket sales commencing on December 10, 2024. General admission prices for adults will begin at £24.90, with various discounts available.
