Event Details
Award-winning Horrible Histories joins forces with Ramses and the Pharaohs’ Gold: The Exhibition at NEON at Battersea Power Station for a live museum show of Awesome Egyptians, packed with gruesome facts, thrilling tales and ancient Egyptian adventure.
Running throughout the summer holidays, Horrible Histories – Live at the Museum! invites families to take a thrilling tour of priceless Egyptian artefacts with the great Ramses II. Unfolding in two immersive parts, the show begins inside the exhibition itself, where visitors are guided through a selection of the exhibition’s most fascinating treasures by ‘Ramses’ himself.
As families journey through the galleries and hear stories from the remarkable reign of Ramses the Great, one of the most powerful pharaohs in history, they’ll be surrounded a priceless collection of 180 original Egyptian treasures on display, including the extraordinary coffin of Ramses the Great, the magnificent gold mask of Amenemope, the silver coffin of Shoshenq II, colossal statues, exquisite jewellery and royal treasures that have survived for more than 3,000 years.
The show then continues with a hilarious live performance featuring audience participation and the infamous ‘Mummy Rap’. Families will discover the gory step-by-step process of turning a pharaoh into a mummy, as one of Ancient Egypt’s most fascinating burial rituals is brought brilliantly to life.
