TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Chimei Museum announced Thursday that it will collaborate with the British Museum to present “Pharaoh: King of Egypt” in 2026.

The exhibition, opening Jan. 29, will be the largest display of ancient Egyptian treasures ever held in Taiwan, per CNA. It will feature 280 items, including gold jewelry, burial artifacts, temple architecture, and monumental stone sculptures weighing a total of 28 tonnes.

This marks the museum’s fourth collaboration with a major British institution. Curated from the perspective of the pharaohs, the exhibition explores their multifaceted roles through seven themes.

The museum said that pyramids, temples, golden treasures, and the sphinx are inseparable from the image of the pharaoh. Through relics from the reigns of 56 rulers, visitors can experience the enduring legacy of those who reigned over Egypt for millennia.

Spanning nearly 3,000 years of history, the exhibition includes relics from Ramses II, Tutankhamun, the female pharaoh Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, and Alexander the Great.

The collection ranges from jewelry and burial items to sculptures, coffins, and papyrus documents. Artifacts include gold ornaments as small as 2 centimeters and stone statues weighing up to 2 tonnes, among them the seated statue of Seti II, one of the best-preserved pharaonic sculptures in the British Museum.

Early-bird tickets go on sale Sunday. The exhibition will run until Jan. 10, 2027.
