Building on the success of the “Tang Vogue Beyond the Horizons: A Golden Era of Multicultural Integration and Openness” exhibition in 2025, the Development Bureau and the National Cultural Heritage Administration join hands again to present the large-scale Han dynasty-themed exhibition this year, “The Majestic Han: A Golden Age of Vigour and Cultural Integration” exhibition. The vigorous and integrative ethos of Han dynasty pointed towards an assertive and forward-looking vision of the state, as well as cultural inclusiveness and institutional innovation.

The exhibition is presented in six thematic sections to illuminate Han dynasty as a flourishing age of expansion and innovation:

(1) The Unified Realm — Political System of Han Dynasty;
(2) Wealth of the Country — Economic Development in Han Dynasty;
(3) Harmony of Heaven and Humanity — Han Culture and Beliefs;
(4) Innovation and Model‑Making — Scientific and Technological Development in Han Dynasty;
(5) Facets of Daily Life — Social Life in Han Dynasty;
(6) Integration of East and West — External Exchanges in Han Dynasty.

The exhibition features 252 pieces/sets of invaluable exhibits. Among them, 203 pieces/sets, including 40 grade-one cultural relics, come from 29 museums and cultural institutions in 14 provinces and autonomous regions in the Chinese Mainland, and most of them are being shown in Hong Kong for the first time.
