Secretary-General of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities Mohamed Ismail Khaled and Director of the Hong Kong Palace Museum Louis Ng signed a cooperation agreement to organize a major temporary exhibition titled “Ancient Egypt Unveiled: Treasures from Egyptian Museums”.
The exhibition is scheduled to be held at the Hong Kong Palace Museum from November 18, 2025, to August 31, 2026.
The signing ceremony took place in Hong Kong, in the presence of senior Egyptian and Chinese cultural officials.
The exhibition will feature approximately 250 exceptional artifacts carefully selected from several Egyptian museums, including the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, Luxor Museum of Ancient Egyptian Art, Suez National Museum and Sohag National Museum.
The exhibition will showcase recently excavated artifacts from the Saqqara archaeological site, alongside a carefully curated selection of items presently exhibited in the “At the Summit of the Pyramid: Civilization of Ancient Egypt” exhibition in Shanghai.
The exhibition focuses on three key themes: Royal Egypt, the Era of Tutankhamun, and Archaeological Discoveries from Saqqara.
Following the signing ceremony, an international press conference was held to commemorate the partnership, drawing extensive media coverage both locally and internationally.
In his remarks, Khaled described the exhibition as a cultural gateway to over 5,000 years of Egyptian history, marking the start of an exceptional cultural journey that deepens cooperation between Egypt and China.
He described the exhibition as a timeless cultural dialogue that bridges past and present, reflecting the artistic and creative values shared by two of the world’s great civilizations.
He added that the inclusion of artifacts from the ongoing exhibition in Shanghai underscores its remarkable success and strong public reception in China, expressing confidence that the Hong Kong exhibition will enjoy similar acclaim and provide a rich and distinguished cultural experience.
He concluded by extending an open invitation to the people of Hong Kong, Asia, and the international community to visit the exhibition and explore the wonders of ancient Egyptian civilization, saying this event marks the beginning of a new chapter in cultural and archaeological cooperation between Egypt and China.
Louis Ng underlined that China and Egypt are cradles of two of the world’s oldest civilizations, united by enduring cultural and historical bonds.
He described the exhibition as a milestone in cultural exchange between the two nations and a testament to the museum’s dedication to promoting intercultural dialogue and advancing mutual understanding through cultural engagement.
