Transportez-vous 3 300 ans en arrière, traversez les sables du désert du Sahara, jusqu’au cœur de l’Égypte ancienne, sous le règne du pharaon le plus renommé des récits historiques du pays. Découvrez l’une des plus grandes collections de ce type dans cette exposition inédite en Australie, Ramses & the Gold of the Pharaohs (Ramsès et l’or des pharaons).




Cette toute nouvelle expérience multisensorielle ouvre aux visiteurs une fenêtre sur la vie et les réalisations de Ramsès II, plus connu sous le nom de Ramsès le Grand, qui régna sur l’Égypte pendant 67 ans, le deuxième règne de tous les pharaons de par sa longueur. En exclusivité à Sydney, Ramsès et l’or des pharaons présente 181 objets d’une valeur inestimable, notamment des trésors égyptiens et des reliques sans pareil, dont beaucoup représentent cet exceptionnel pharaon lui-même. Nombre d’entre elles n’avaient jamais quitté l’Égypte. Au cours de ce voyage immersif, les visiteurs découvriront une collection d’objets merveilleusement préservés, dont des sarcophages, des momies d’animaux, de magnifiques bijoux, des masques royaux spectaculaires, des amulettes exquises et des trésors en or richement décorés d’origine funéraire, qui mettent en valeur le superbe travail des artisans égyptiens.

L’exposition propose également une expérience de réalité virtuelle qui vous fera découvrir deux des monuments les plus impressionnants de Ramsès : les temples d’Abou Simbel et le tombeau de la reine Néfertari, l’épouse royale préférée du pharaon. De leur fauteuil à mouvement, les spectateurs auront la sensation de s’envoler, de traverser les temples, les tempêtes de sable et même de se retrouver en face à face avec la momie de Ramsès au cours de ce grisant voyage animé.

Cet événement sans pareil sera à la fois instructif et riche en sensations. Ramsès et l’or des pharaons permettra aux visiteurs de découvrir de près la vie, les réalisations et les extraordinaires monuments de Ramsès le Grand.

Tickets will be available to buy at the door, but we encourage you to buy tickets online to ensure that you secure your preferred session time. It is expected that popular sessions will sell out.


Children three years and over will be charged entry to Ramses & the Gold of the Pharaohs.


The age limit for children's tickets is 15 years and under.


Unfortunately, because sessions are selling out so fast and have strict capacity limits sometimes there were only a handful of slots left in a session – so it may say "available" but if your ticket order was for more than is available, then it won’t let you proceed. When you go into a session, if it says “limited availability” at the top, that means there are less than ten slots left, most likely less than five. Due to current requirements, Ticketmaster is unable to process more than six people through one transaction – so if you need tickets for more than six, you will need to purchase them in a second transaction.


This is to ensure a continual flow of visitors and to minimise queues. You can stay in the exhibition as long as you like, but we recommend setting aside 60 minutes to be able to see everything.
