Win tickets to NGV's Melbourne Winter Masterpieces,exhibition Pharaoh, plus lunch at the NGV Garden Restaurant.
This winter, the NGV partners with the British Museum to present Pharaoh, a landmark exhibition that celebrates three thousand years of ancient Egyptian art and culture. The More Music Breakfast Show has a day out planned for you at the exhibition.
Through more than 500 works, including monumental sculpture, architecture, temple statuary, exquisite jewellery, papyri, coffins and a rich array of funerary objects, the exhibition will unpack the phenomenon of pharaoh, those all-powerful kings claiming a divine origin.
From imagery on rings, bracelets and personal treasures, to statues and monuments of colossal scale, the pharaohs presented an idealised image of themselves as invincible warriors and fervent worshippers of the gods, who held a unique position as intermediaries between these divine beings and the rest of humanity. Through a carefully curated selection of exceptional works, Pharaoh will explore the realities, mythologies and iconographies of kingship in ancient Egypt.
Melbourne Winter Masterpieces: Pharaoh opens on June 14 at NGV International – book your tickets at ngv.vic.gov.au.
Or for the chance to win your tickets, plus lunch for two at the NGV Garden Restaurant, including matching wines, be listening to The More Music Breakfast Show with Mike Perso from 5.30am on Smooth 91.
