Bringing artefacts from GEM to London audiences
Ramses and the Pharaohs’ Gold represents a key milestone in the region’s cultural development and is expected to be one of London’s most memorable exhibitions of 2026.
Exhibits include invaluable artefacts and luxurious treasures from the reign of Ramses and ancient Egypt, including intricately carved sarcophagi, animal mummies, magnificent jewellery, stunning royal masks, and exquisite amulets.
A highlight of the exhibition is the original wooden coffin that held Ramses II’s mummy.
Over 3,000 years old, all the artefacts in Ramses and the Pharaohs’ Gold originate 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 advanced storytelling, guests will enter the extraordinary world of King Ramses II, widely recognised as Ramses the Great.
As part of the 19th dynasty, Ramses II ruled Egypt for almost 67 years and is remembered as a mighty warrior who helped shape the pinnacle of Ancient Egyptian civilisation.
Known for his monumental construction projects, military strategy, diplomacy, and fathering more than 100 children, Ramses is one of the most famous pharaohs in history.

The exhibition also includes an immersive virtual reality experience that explores Ramses’ legacy, from the Tomb of Queen Nefertari to the temples of Abu Simbel.
Ron Tan, group CEO of NEON, says: "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, says: "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."
