"On loan from Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, 180 priceless artefacts, many of which have never left Egypt, are on display in a beautifully curated exhibition at the purpose-built NEON venue at Battersea Power Station. This is a multimedia show, an immersive experience that includes films, interviews, and specially composed music for each room."
"The NEON gallery has been transformed into a treasure trove in which viewers travel back three centuries to the reign of Ramses II, the pharaoh whose ruled for 67 years. To put that in context, Tutankhamun ruled a mere nine years. Ramses II died at the age of 92, father to 100 children."
"Ramses II, also known as Ramses the Great, was closely associated with the sun god, Amun-Re and was worshipped like a god by his subjects. He was a prolific builder, a warrior, and a master of creating his own image."
