Travel through time and visit ancient Egypt. The Ramses the Great Exhibition brings some of the most iconic treasures and moments of the pharaohs to Tokyo.
What to expect
Supported by the Egyptian government, the Ramses the Great Exhibition is one of the biggest exhibits of antique treasures ever held in Japan. Over 180 artifacts and pieces of art will be on display. Enjoy up close and personal views of pyramid artwork, ancient Egyptian architecture, and far more.
You can also take a trip back to yesteryear with the event’s pioneering VR experience. Slip on the headset, and take a tour through the lives and histories of Ramses II and Queen Nefertari. You’ll explore the beautiful Abu Simbel Temple, and the haunting tomb of the Queen, with Nefertari herself as your guide.
