The forthcoming new British Museum touring exhibition Pharaoh: King of Egypt explores both the myths and realities of kingship in ancient Egypt. With 130 objects, from a larger than life-size royal tomb guardian statue, exquisite jewellery, and palace decorations, to defaced royal monuments and accounts of assassination and civil war, Pharaoh: King of Egypt is the largest ever UK loan of Egyptian objects from the British Museum.

Birmingham and Bristol here i come.
I have my fingers crossed for the inclusion of Hatshepsut (on a selfish note, of course!!)

Checked, and Hatshepsut is nicely covered, as are many others.
Can't wait!
