Description
More influential than Tutankhamun, though far less mythologised, King Ramses II, widely known as Ramses the Great, ruled Egypt for nearly 67 years. 3,000 years later and he still remains one of history’s most iconic pharaohs. Known for his extensive monument-building, military strategy and diplomacy, and a vast dynasty of more than 100 children, this exhibition invites you to witness the power of a reign and explore the rise of a ruler who sought not only to command an empire, but to secure his immortality for millennia to come.

This Exhibition is produced by Victory Hill Exhibitions, part of NEON Group.
