Travelling exhibition ‘Ramses and the Pharaoh’s Gold’ will appear in five countries.
Amongst the things that the pandemic put a dampener on was the grand conclusion to London’s incredible Tutankhamun exhibition, which appeared at the Saatchi Gallery in 2019. Sadly, the collection of treasures has since left town to take up permanent residence in Cairo, but there is some good news on the horizon. The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has given the green light for a new touring exhibition of fabulous treasures, named ‘Ramses and the Pharaoh’s Gold’ – and it’ll be visiting London before long.
