MAJESTIC: ROYAL AND IMPERIAL OBJECTS
FROM THE LIANG YI COLLECTION
Starting 17th February, 2023
Liang Yi Museum is pleased to present Majestic: Royal and Imperial Objects from the Liang Yi Collection, the first exhibition of its kind in Hong Kong to explore the history of royal and noble patronage in the East and West. Drawing on 180 remarkable artefacts from the Museum's permanent collection, the pieces in the collection were commissioned by the ruling class, or made by celebrated craftsmen granted warrants from the royal courts of Austria, China, Denmark, England, France, and Japan.
Featuring exhibits from both East and West, this exhibition takes an international approach, celebrating the apex of craftsmanship under the direction of imperial cultural ambition. The collection can be classified into two broad categories: those with direct royal provenance; and objects created in the taste of royalty.
