NEON, a global leader in experiential entertainment, in partnership with Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiques and the Egyptian Museum, has announced Ramses and the Pharaohs’ Gold, a spectacular international exhibition celebrating the reign, power and legacy of Ramses the Great.

Running from 28 February to 31 May 2026, this major cultural event will be exclusively hosted at NEON at Battersea Power Station, a landmark destination for cultural and entertainment experiences in London, as part of its global tour following acclaimed runs in Paris, San Francisco, Sydney and Tokyo. It is anticipated to be one of London’s most unforgettable exhibitions of 2026. 

Ramses and the Pharaohs' Gold exhibition

Featuring 180 priceless artefacts and opulent treasures from the reign of Ramses and ancient Egypt including ornately carved sarcophagi, animal mummies, magnificent jewellery, stunning royal masks, and exquisite amulets, the exhibition features many objects that have never before left Egypt.  

Visitors will encounter the original wooden coffin that once held Ramses II’s mummy as one of the exhibition highlights, offering an extraordinary connection to history. 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 from Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities.

Through immersive galleries and state-of-the-art storytelling, visitors will step into the extraordinary world of King Ramses II, widely known as Ramses the Great. Part of the 19th dynasty, Ramses II ruled Egypt for nearly 67 years and is celebrated as the mighty warrior-king who helped define the height of Ancient Egyptian civilisation. Known for his extensive monument-building, military strategy and diplomacy, and a vast dynasty of more than 100 children, Ramses remains one of history’s most iconic pharaohs.

The exhibition also features an immersive virtual reality experience, transporting visitors deep into Ramses’ legacy from the resplendent Tomb of Queen Nefertari to the monumental temples of Abu Simbel.

Renee Moran, Head of Asset Management at Battersea Power Station Development Company, said: “We’re delighted to be working with NEON again to bring an exciting new exhibition to Battersea Power Station.

“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.” 
 
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.” 

The regeneration of Battersea Power Station has created one of London’s most exciting mixed-use neighbourhoods, which is home to over 150 shops, bars, restaurants and unique leisure experiences in and around the iconic building. The riverside neighbourhood has welcomed over 30 million visitors since it opened in October 2022.
