STORYLINE:

With 100,000 tickets already sold in advance, anticipation has been bubbling up in the air for the exhibition titled "Ramses and the Gold of the Pharaohs" even before its official opening to the public at the Australian Museum.
   
The blockbuster exhibition features 182 exquisite artifacts directly from the pyramids and museums of Egypt, bringing to life the story of Ramses II, who became the second-longest reigning pharaoh in ancient Egypt's history.
   
The treasure trove includes jewelry in gold and silver, amulets, pottery, stone sculptures, limestone paintings, wooden coffins, and animal mummies, some of which have survived more than 3,000 years.
   
Before the curtain of the exhibition is raised, a media launch on Thursday offered a sneak peek into the multi-sensory museum experience apropos of the reign of Ramses II, his death and legacy, as well as the gold-imbued masks, pectorals, and other adornments.
   
Starting from Saturday, the exhibition is expected to run at the Australian Museum until May 19, 2024.
