Witness Tears Across Millennia at the Shanghai Museum!

Shanghai Museum's Egypt Exhibition↓ See it now! A super photogenic and stunning exhibition! See the Pharaohs without going to Egypt! This is the largest and highest-level exhibition of ancient Egyptian artifacts ever to leave Egypt, with 788 pieces, over 95% of which are being displayed abroad for the first time. It's exclusively in Shanghai, bringing Egyptian history right before your eyes! Highly recommended! Address: Shanghai Museum, People's Square Exhibition Period: Jul 19, 2024–Aug 17, 2025 Exhibition Hours: 9:00am–5:00pm (Closed on Mondays), Extended evening hours until 9:00pm on Fridays and Saturdays Transportation: Direct access via Metro Lines 1, 2, and 8 to People's Square Station Tickets: 148 CNY/person. Advance booking required through the Shanghai Museum's official channels (reservations for the following month open at 12:00pm on the 1st of each month). [Highlights] Statues of Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and Amenemhat III, complete sets of mummy coffins, queen's gold jewelry… each piece is a historical treasure. [Special Exhibition Sections] *Realm of the Pharaohs*: The largest exhibition hall, featuring core artifacts and showcasing ancient Egyptian royal views and beliefs about the afterlife. A condensed history of Egyptian civilization. *Secrets of Saqqara*: Showcasing major archaeological discoveries from the past decade, including exquisite painted coffins and animal mummies. Each exhibit carries millennia of mystery. *The Age of Tutankhamun*: Focusing on this renowned pharaoh, this section explores the interplay of religion and social change on the historical stage. It's also the most photogenic part of the exhibition. [Key Points - Important Advice!] 1. After the exhibition, you absolutely must experience the "VRI: The Vanished Pharaohs" on the second floor! It's amazing! It puts you right inside a pyramid for an immersive adventure, exploring and learning about ancient Egyptian history, culture, and customs. Tickets are 198 CNY, and trust me, it's worth every penny! 2. For exhibitions like this, guided tours are essential. I recommend the regular guided tour; the more expensive premium tours aren't really necessary. The cheaper smart guide devices, AR glasses, etc., aren't recommended either… don't waste your money. 3. Bring your ID card, as you'll need to scan it upon entering each hall. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water and snacks, as things are expensive at the museum. So, what are you waiting for? An exhibition of this caliber is rare, so go for it!
