Hong Kong has always been known as the place where East meets West — a city where neon lights shine beside temples, and skyscrapers rise above street markets. But in 2026, Hong Kong adds a new twist: Egypt meets Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Palace Museum in the West Kowloon Cultural District will host Ancient Egypt Unveiled: Treasures from Egyptian Museums, a blockbuster exhibition that brings the magic of the Nile to Victoria Harbour.

🏺 Exhibition Highlights

Running from November 20, 2025 to August 31, 2026, the exhibition showcases more than 250 artefacts spanning 5,000 years of Egyptian civilization. Visitors can expect:

  • Colossal statues of Akhenaten and Tutankhamun.

  • Exquisite gold collars and sacred animal bronzes.

  • Newly discovered treasures from the Saqqara necropolis.

  • Four themed sections: The Land of Pharaohs, The World of Tutankhamun, The Secrets of Saqqara, and Ancient Egypt and the World.


🌊 Victoria Harbour Meets the Nile

The exhibition’s charm lies in its cultural dialogue. Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour has long symbolized openness, trade, and cosmopolitan life. The Nile River, meanwhile, was the lifeblood of ancient Egypt, sustaining agriculture, religion, and monumental architecture.

By hosting Egyptian treasures in Hong Kong, the exhibition creates a poetic bridge:

  • Victoria Harbour’s skyline reflects modern commerce and global exchange.

  • The Nile’s timeless flow represents continuity and the roots of civilization. Together, they embody Hong Kong’s role as a meeting point where ancient history and modern vibrancy converge.


🎁 Souvenirs to Treasure

Come on!! The most exciting part I wish to introduce to all of you!!!! To make the experience even more fun, the Hong Kong Palace Museum has designed exclusive merchandise:

  • Ancient Egypt Plush Bag Charms — available in a Blind Box + Exhibition ticket package, each box hides a surprise collectible inspired by Egyptian motifs like scarabs or cats.

  • DA CHOCO Crispy Chocolate— Culinary brand DALLOYAU pop-up truck featuring the exclusive DA CHOCO Crispy Chocolate, inspired by Middle Eastern flavours and HKPM motifs.

  • Other Themed Merchandise — tote bags, stationery, and accessories blending Hong Kong design with Egyptian aesthetics.

These souvenirs aren’t just cute — they’re symbolic. Imagine holding a plush scarab charm while gazing out at Victoria Harbour: a tangible reminder that Hong Kong welcomes the world’s civilizations with open arms.

It’s a chance to see how civilizations converse across time and space — from pyramids to pagodas, from pharaohs to emperors.
