When was the last time Londoners had the opportunity to witness the magnificent treasures of ancient Egypt’s most powerful pharaoh? The wait is nearly over as Ramses and the Pharaohs’ Gold opens at NEON, Battersea Power Station, on February 28, 2026.
This extraordinary exhibition brings 180 precious artifacts on loan from Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities and the Egyptian Museum to London, many for the first time in the UK.
Visitors will encounter remarkable treasures over 3,000 years old, including the original wooden coffin that once held Ramses II’s mummy. The exhibition showcases royal masks, including the gold mask of King Amenemope from the Tanis tombs, silver coffins, intricately preserved animal mummies, and exquisite amulet collections. These artifacts reflect how ancient Egyptians believed statues served as vessels for spirits in temples and tombs. Additionally, guests can take advantage of multi-attraction passes that may include entry to this exhibition along with other cultural sites in London.
Colossal sculptures and stone heads of Ramses II and his queens further illustrate the grandeur of his 67-year reign.
Ramses II, known as Ramses the Great, ruled Egypt during the 19th Dynasty in the 13th century BC. This warrior-king negotiated history’s first recorded peace treaty, fathered over 100 children, and defined the height of ancient Egyptian civilization through military conquests and diplomatic achievements.
His quest for immortality resulted in a vast dynasty and monumental constructions across Egypt.
The exhibition employs state-of-the-art storytelling techniques with dramatic lighting and virtual reality options that transport visitors through Ramses’ temples. Following acclaimed runs in major global cities including Paris, San Francisco, Sydney, and Tokyo, the exhibition now makes its highly anticipated London debut. Visitors can expect a uniquely intimate experience with minimal crowding designed to enhance their connection with these ancient treasures. Guests will gain insights into Egypt’s spiritual life and afterlife beliefs through the displayed mummies and amulets.
The venue is wheelchair accessible, with optional audio guides available.
This exhibition represents a rare opportunity to see artifacts never before displayed outside Egypt, many of which will return to the Grand Egyptian Museum after the exhibition closes.
The partnership between NEON, Victory Hill Exhibitions, and Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities brings one of 2026’s most significant cultural events to London. Tickets are available through Fever, with early booking discounts including 10% off for those planning ahead.
