HKPM is throwing a late-night party to celebrate the end of its ancient Egyptian exhibition

The Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) is hosting an exclusive after-hours celebration to cap off its popular Ancient Egypt Unveiled exhibition, which boasts over 550,000 visitors since opening. The grand finale event, A Pharaoh's Rendezvous, will take place on August 19 at the museum from 6:30pm to 10pm. Guests will enjoy after-hours access to the main exhibition in Gallery 9, themed displays in Galleries 3 and 4, guided by knowledgeable docents, as well as live folk dance, curated music, and a DJ set from Beat Friday.

Attendees can also expect Egyptian snacks, drinks, and photo opportunities at themed photo spots. Tickets for the event cost $450 per person, with discounts available for HKPM Friends and museum patrons. The exhibition, featuring roughly 250 ancient Egyptian artifacts, concludes on August 31, and HKPM is extending its opening hours throughout August to accommodate the final stretch of the show.
