Ramses and the Pharaohs' Gold: The Exhibition London
đ London, Greater London
Major travelling exhibition at Battersea Power Station displaying 180 artifacts on loan from Cairo, including the coffin of Ramses II, golden funeral masks, and mummies spanning 3,000 years.
Fantastic exhibit! Beautiful artifacts and it moves quickly with enough description but not so much you get lost in it. I highly recommend buying the audio guide and the VR experience!
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 10 and up who already have a genuine interest in ancient Egypt. The artifacts are genuinely remarkable, and the exhibition moves at a pace that rewards curiosity. Younger children will find little to interact with â the format is object-and-label throughout.

âI thought ÂŖ60 for an adult and a child was incredibly expensive, and it didn't even include an audio guide. The actual items collected were impressive, but they weren't displayed with much interest, the actual exhibition centre was like a conference hangar space, there just wasn't much atmosphere, or much decoration. There were a few videos and reconstructions which were fine, just all quite basic, and really missing any kind of magic, any sense of place or wonder. I thought my nephew would love it, but there wasn't actually much of an interactive element (a video is not interactive, is it...), and he just drifted through the exhibits and didn't seem to really get much excitement from it. I'm almost inclined to give two stars because of the very high price, compared to other "big" exhibitions - ÂŖ20 each would have been just about ok - but some items were really impressive, so it's on balance just about worth visiting, especially for kids who already know a lot about the era and might get more out of it.â

âThe exhibition was decent, but I was surprised that the VR element cost an additional ÂŖ15. On top of the ÂŖ30 entry fee, I'd say it's overpriced for what you could otherwise see at The British Museum. In all, an expensive museum.â
