    Last Egyptian one I went to was super expensive and you couldn’t take photos. Furthermore, lots of waiting.

    I only go to the free sections at the ngv now

    I went to the Sydney Ramses exhibition at the Australian Museum.

    I enjoyed it, though full.admission, I’m a bit of a sucker for history stuff. From memory price was about $42, so $38 for this one that has about 3x more artefacts seems reasonable. Expensive to take a family, and I’d reckon kids would get bored anyway.

    As with all exhibits, best to try weekdays late afternoon or after hours to avoid crowds.

    I still get chills being so close to things created so long ago. The intricate work inscribing entire statues and sarcophagus with hieroglyphics was amazing.
