Pharaoh Teacher and Student Programs

NGV International

Opening June 2024

The NGV has partnered with the British Museum to present Pharaoh, a landmark exhibition that celebrates three thousand years of ancient Egyptian art and culture. Through more than 500 objects, including monumental sculpture, architecture, temple statuary, exquisite jewellery, papyri, coffins and a rich array of funerary objects, the exhibition unpacks the phenomenon of pharaoh, those all-powerful kings claiming a divine origin.

Explore the range of NGV Educator-led programming below, or book a self-guided school visit. Bookings are required for all school groups.
