This November, the Hong Kong Palace Museum will open its doors to ‘Ancient Egypt Unveiled: Treasures from Egyptian Museums’, a spectacular exhibition that brings the wonders of Egypt to Asia’s world city.

Through a historic partnership with Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, more than 250 priceless artefacts from seven major museums – including Cairo’s Egyptian Museum and the Luxor Museum of Ancient Egyptian Art – will be showcased in Hong Kong for the very first time. Many of these treasures have never before left Egypt.

Spanning over 5,000 years of civilisation, the exhibition features statues of pharaohs and gods, glittering gold ornaments, intricately carved sarcophagi, animal mummies, and even new discoveries from Saqqara, the royal necropolis of ancient Memphis.

Highlights include a towering 2.8-metre statue of Tutankhamun, the cat-headed goddess Bastet, and the powerful figure of Akhenaten.

Running for nine and a half months, this landmark exhibition transports visitors across millennia, bringing the magic of ancient Egypt to Hong Kong’s doorstep.
