Might and Magnificence: Ceremonial Arms and Armour across Cultures

Swing by the Indra and Harry Banga Gallery at City University of Hong Kong for the 'Might and Magnificence: Ceremonial Arms and Armour across Cultures' exhibition, running from now until February 23, 2025. Co-curated by Dr Libby Lai-Pik Chan and Dr Rachel Parikh, this exhibition showcases nearly 200 incredible pieces that reveal the rich cultural stories behind ceremonial arms and armour. Discover how these ceremonial arms reflect cultural and social identities – from markers of status to instruments of worship – through examples of rare items from esteemed private and local public collections, including the renowned Mengdiexuan Collection and the celebrated R&J Collection. The exhibition is free to enter, with on-site registration available at the Tai Chee Avenue entrance of the Lau Ming Wai Academic Building, adjacent to the Amphitheatre on the 2/F.
