An
extraordinary collection of 250 precious artefacts from Egypt, including statues
of pharaohs and deities, gold ornaments, large coffins and animal mummies, will
go on display in Hong Kong starting tomorrow, Nov 20, at the Hong Kong Palace
Museum.
The exhibit, Ancient Egypt Unveiled: Treasures from Egyptian Museums features the largest, most comprehensive and longest-running display of ancient Egyptian treasures in Hong Kong.

| DETAILS HERE |
Its centerpiece is a towering statue of Tutankhamun, the 13th pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, who became famous in modern times after his nearly intact tomb containing an extraordinary collection of over 5,000 artifacts including his mummy and funeral mask, was discovered in 2022.
The exhibition opening is a prelude to the 70th anniversary next year of the start of diplomatic ties between China and Egypt.

| Mummified animals are part of the exhibit |
The objects on display come from seven prominent museums in Egypt, including the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the Luxor Museum of Ancient Egyptian Art, as well as recent archaeological discoveries from Saqqara.
All artefacts are displayed in Hong Kong for the first time, and many are exhibited outside Egypt for the first time, making the exhibition especially significant.
