EON will debut Ramses and the Pharaohs’ Gold at Battersea Power Station in partnership with Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities and the Egyptian Museum. The show will feature 180 artefacts, many of which have never left Egypt before. 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, adds: "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.
WINTER 2026 "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."
Bringing treasures from Egypt to London audiences Expected to be one of the standout cultural events of 2026, Ramses and the Pharaohs’ Gold will offer a major showcase of artefacts from the Grand Egyptian Museum’s collection. Visitors can expect to see ornate sarcophagi, animal mummies, elaborate jewellery, royal masks and finely crafted amulets from the era of Ramses II. One of the centrepieces is the original wooden
coffin that once held the mummy of Ramses II. All items on display originate from Egyptian museums and archaeological sites and are being loaned through Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities. Using immersive environments and modern storytelling techniques, the exhibition will guide guests into the world of Ramses II - known as Ramses the
Great - who ruled during the 19th dynasty. His reign, which lasted almost 67 years, is celebrated for its military achievements, vast building projects and diplomatic influence. He is also remembered for fathering more than 100 children and becoming one of Egypt’s most iconic pharaohs. An additional highlight is a virtual reality experience that allows visitors to explore elements of Ramses’ legacy, including the Tomb of Queen Nefertari and the temples of Abu Simbel. Renee Moran, head of asset management at Battersea Power Station Development Company, says: "We’re delighted to be working with NEON again to bring an exciting new exhibition to Battersea Power Station following the hugely popular Jurassic World: The Experience. "NEON’s rolling programme of world-class experiences, supports our vision to deliver a vibrant cultural hub at Battersea Power Station and we are excited to welcome Londoners and visitors from further afield to the new Ramses and the Pharaohs’ Gold exhibition in February." Visitors will also be able to make the most of Battersea Power Station’s wider offering, which now includes more than 150 shops, restaurants, bars and leisure destinations - making it an ideal location for a full day out.
