Before coming to Shanghai this time, it had actually gone through three stops, namely, New York, USA and Beijing, China.
Everyone hopes to see these very rare cultural relics, but these cultural relics actually have their very special place.
The golden mummies were actually rare in the entire history. They existed in the late period of ancient Egypt, which is also known as the period of Cleopatra.
[Explanation] During the interview, the reporter learned that the exhibition of these European cultural relics is a joint tour project between the Encounter Museum and the Manchester Museum in the UK from 2020 to 2022, so as to build a bridge between Chinese and foreign cultural exchanges.

I think the main purpose here is two. One is to promote more cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, and to enhance cultural exchanges and mutual learning; in addition, we bring more international and domestic excellent art and culture to the people of Shanghai. Meet the spiritual and cultural needs of local people.
[Explanation] It is reported that the Encounter Museum·Shanghai Jing’an Pavilion will rely on China International Culture Group to hold 8 to 10 original artwork exhibitions and "Encounter" series of original light and shadow art exhibitions every year, and "Art Salon" and "Diplomats" will be held from time to time.
