We might not be able to freely travel to Egypt at the moment but worry not! Egypt can sort of come to us.
Ramses and the Pharaoh s Gold is a new traveling exhibition of Egyptian treasures set to land in the United States in November 2021 and run through January 2025, according to a recent announcement by Egypt s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
A similar show had previously taken up residence at the Völklinger Ironworks cultural centre in Völklingen, Germany but this iteration of the happening promises to be larger in scope and scale.
