(Hong Kong) - 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 190 remarkable artefacts from the Museum's permanent collection, the exhibition celebrates the apex of craftsmanship, encouraged and guided by imperial cultural ambition. Majestic: Royal and Imperial Objects from the Liang Yi Collection will open in Spring 2023.

Founded in 2014, Liang Yi Museum has established itself as one of the world’s leading private museums in less than a decade, with an outstanding reputation in the fields of craftsmanship, design and cultural heritage. The Museum now houses close to 7,000 objects in its various collections including classical Chinese furniture; vanities; historic silver; and Japanese works of art. Many of 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 a selection of traditional decorative objects from both East and West, this exhibition takes an international approach to the subject, and can be classified into two broad categories: those with direct royal provenance; and objects created in the taste of royalty.
