サハラ砂漠の砂の向こうに広がる3300年前の世界に思いを馳せ、その地に伝わる歴史の中でもっとも名高いファラオが治めていた古代エジプトの息吹に触れましょう。オーストラリア初となるRamses & the Gold of the Pharaohs[ラムセスと、ファラオたちの黄金]展で、同様の展示としては過去最大・最高レベルに匹敵する展示品の数々を体験しましょう。




今回の特別展は様々な感覚に訴えるまったく新しい博物館体験であり、訪問者の方々に、歴代ファラオたちの中でも2番目の長さである67年という在位期間にわたりエジプトを統治し、大王ラムセスの名でより広く知られているラムセス2世の生涯とその偉業の数々を垣間見させてくれます。Ramses & the Gold of the Pharaohs[ラムセスと、ファラオたちの黄金]展は豪州ではシドニーのみで開催され、エジプトの財宝や一点しか存在しない遺品などからなる181点の極めて貴重な遺物が展示されます。これらの展示品の多くは非常に優れたファラオであったラムセス2世自身を象徴するものであり、これまでエジプト国外に持ち出されたことがなかったものも数多く含まれています。訪問者の方々は、没入型体験で楽しめるこの歴史の旅の中で、石棺や動物のミイラ、豪華な宝飾品、目を奪われるような王のマスク、精巧に作られた御守類、墓から発掘された華麗な黄金の財宝など、古代エジプトの職人たちの卓越した技術がうかがえる、極めて美しい状態で保存された遺物の数々を発見することとなります。

また、この展示ではバーチャルリアリティー体験も提供されており、ラムセス2世関連の遺跡の中でも有数の荘厳さで知られるアブ・シンベル神殿と、ラムセスに寵愛された王妃であるネフェルタリ妃の墓をまるで風のように巡ることができます。このツアーに参加される訪問者の方々は、映画館の座席のような可動式シートで楽しむ大興奮の映像の旅で神殿や砂嵐の中を飛行し、ラムセス2世のミイラとの対面まで体験できます。

人生で二度とないチャンスとなるであろうこの特別展では、学びとスリルの両方を味わうことができます。Ramses & the Gold of the Pharaohs [ラムセスと、ファラオたちの黄金]展を訪問して、ラムセス大王の生涯と数々の偉業、そして彼が遺した息を飲むような遺跡たちに迫ってみましょう。

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.
