This summer, the Shanghai Museum in East China is hosting an extraordinary exhibition titled “On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization of Ancient Egypt“. As the largest exhibition of its kind held outside Egypt in the past 20 years, it brings together 492 sets of selected artifacts spanning different periods of ancient Egyptian civilization.
Sourced from seven renowned Egyptian museums, the exhibition includes the latest archaeological discoveries, offering visitors a rare glimpse into the rich history and culture of ancient Egypt. Remarkably, over 95 percent of these artifacts are making their debut in Asia, making this a truly unprecedented event for the continent.

The exhibition is expected to attract global readers, news enthusiasts, business professionals, academics, researchers, and members of the Asian diaspora interested in cultural developments within Asia. It also offers a compelling destination for travelers and cultural explorers seeking to immerse themselves in the wonders of ancient civilizations.
