Through Feb. 2023, San Francisco's deYoung Museum will host an international touring exhibition that pairs ancient objects with cutting-edge technology: 'Ramses the Great and the Gold of the Pharaohs.'
SAN FRANCISCO -- 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.
"With the many travel fiascos we've all been reading about lately, it's a treat to skip the plane ride and transport yourself to Egypt, right here in the museum and, indeed, even into the feeling of the ancient Egyptian tombs," Campbell said at a press conference on Thursday.
One of the exhibition's organizers, John Norman, CEO of the World Heritage Exhibition, said the team wanted to blend several presentation techniques to deliver a special, entertaining experience that's more of a story than a history lecture. There's cinematic video, theatrical lighting, automated show controls and even specially composed music for each gallery, he said.
