Gallery 8: “Treasures of Global Jewellery from The Metropolitan Museum of Art: The Body Transformed” (15 April - 19 October 2026)
The first major showcase in Hong Kong of global jewellery from six continents made over the course of nearly 4,000 years between the second millennium BCE and the 21st century. The exhibition marks The Met’s debut in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area. With approximately 200 spectacular treasures from The Met along with selected objects from the HKPM collection, the close relationship between body and jewellery will be explored. The masterpieces will display the depth and breadth of the encyclopedic collection of this world-renowned museum and illustrate the diversity and interconnectedness of global jewellery.
Gallery 9 - Special Exhibition "Ancient Egypt Unveiled —Treasures from Egyptian Museums” (20 November 2025 – 31 August 2026)
The largest, most comprehensive, and longest-running display of ancient Egyptian treasures in Hong Kong. The exhibition features an extraordinary collection of 250 precious artefacts on loan from the SCA of Egypt, drawn from seven of its affiliated museums. The exhibition also includes recent archaeological discoveries from the Saqqara —the vast necropolis of the ancient capital of Memphis, located south of Cairo. The precious artefacts include monumental statues, painted and inscribed stone stelae, mummy coffins and masks, jewellery, everyday objects, and animal mummies. These objects span nearly 5,000 years of history. Many of these objects, of extraordinary historical and scholarly significance, are exhibited outside Egypt for the first time.
