For six weeks only at Battersea Power Station – Horrible Histories is taking over the museum!
Horrible Histories has joined forces with Neon’s spectacular exhibition of Ramses II to present a hugely fun tour of the Awesome Egyptians!
Take a terrible tour of priceless Egyptian artifacts with the great Ramses himself! Discover the foul facts of death and decay with the meanest mummies in Egypt. Go through the Gates of the Afterlife, hear tales of Tutankhamun and come face to face with a Pharaoh!
It’s the history of Egypt with the nasty bits left in!
(Please note: this museum show contains elements from our current touring production of Awful Egyptians)

Reviews
"An out-and-out joyful school holidays event, in which the god-like Horrible Histories crew deliver a gross-out riot that had our group of children squealing in delight. It really is an educational hoot!"
"Horrible Histories At The Museum brings the magic of the stage to a new level of immersive theatre. The perfect family summer treat to get your love for history ignited in a way that is fun, grotesque and enriching."
"What truly brings the museum to life is the Horrible Histories show, with its fascinating stories. Never have I seen my son so engaged at a museum! Pure Gold!"
