‘Ramses the Great’ immersive exhibition at de Young offers more than just mummies

He is deemed the pharaoh of pharaohs, known for his ruthless military might, unprecedented construction campaign and his leadership that brought ancient Egypt into its notorious golden age: Ramses II, otherwise known as Ramses the Great. And the dazzling treasures and artifacts that surrounded his life have found themselves in San Francisco.

Through February 2023, the de Young museum is hosting an international touring exhibition that pairs ancient objects with cutting-edge technology, labeled “Ramses the Great and the Gold of the Pharaohs.”
