This special exhibition showcases approximately 280 artifacts from the British Museum's collection, making it the largest of its kind ever held in Taiwan. The exhibition focuses on the multifaceted roles of the 'Pharaoh' (god, ruler, warrior).
Stunning Visuals and Spatial Experience:
Fist of the Colossal Statue of Ramesses II: Weighing 1.5 tons, this single fist alone gives a sense of the grandeur of the original statue (approximately 65 feet tall). To accommodate Taiwan's seismic activity, the museum specially reinforced the exhibition hall structure and steel base, making its weight incredibly impressive to see in person.
Seated Statue of Seti II: This is the main visual for the exhibition. The curator specifically recommends observing the statue's 'knees,' where the artisans' detailed depiction of bone and muscle remains remarkably clear and lifelike even after 3,000 years.
Temple Immersion Experience: The exhibition space uses light and shadow walls to depict the changing light in a temple from sunrise to sunset, accompanied by low-frequency sound waves, creating a powerful sense of ritual.
Exquisite Small Artifacts: In addition to the colossal stone sculptures, tiny gold amulets, rings, and intricate papyrus documents (such as fragments recording the Battle of Kadesh) also demonstrate the pinnacle of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship.
Interactive Highlight: The exhibition features an interactive area where you can enter your English name on a tablet, and the system will convert it into a personalized 'Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic' name cartouche.

It's strange that this place isn't better known among Koreans, as the active experiences and performances provide things to see all day long. The scale of the cafe and performance hall, converted from a former sugar factory, is surprisingly large, and there are so many programs for adults and children to experience. You could stay here all day and still not have enough time.

The air conditioning is very cool. Walking from Hall 1 to Hall 5, you can gain a lot of knowledge by browsing slowly, and there are interactive mini-games to play. The admission ticket is not expensive, making it a great attraction to visit regardless of whether it's sunny or rainy.

A place I've loved since forever! The environment has really improved compared to before. During the Chinese New Year, the on-site discount was $550. Since the number of people traveling was quite large, it would be great if it could be a little cheaper! The rabbit-pig is really a cool creature! However, the parking lot is usually full during the Chinese New Year. I drove around for almost half an hour around 1 PM and couldn't find a spot (cleaning fee is $100 each time). After going out, someone was just leaving on the side of the road, so I parked there. If you don't mind walking, just park outside.
