An Age of Luxury: the Assyrians to Alexander

An Age of Luxury: the Assyrians to Alexander


This newly developed exhibition contains objects from the British Museum and Hong Kong will be first time all 210 exhibits will be displayed together 

 

They will allow visitors to learn more about the "Age of Luxury" from 900-300 BC.

When we think about the ancient Mediterranean and Middle East, we tend to visualise the monumental architectural remains of palaces, gardens and city walls. These places were once alive with the wealthy ruling classes and filled with precious and luxurious objects such as metalwork, stone wall-reliefs, ivories, gems and jewellery.

The period from 900 to 300 BC was an age when such luxurious goods were made and traded from India to the Mediterranean. 

The Museum will prepare different kinds of game booths at 1/F Lobby, including VR game, handicraft workshops and gachapon machine. Come and experience a journey of "An Age of Luxury"!
