Final call for "Tsar of All Russia. Holiness and Splendour of Power" exhibition (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The "Tsar of All Russia. Holiness and Splendour of Power" exhibition currently being held at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum (HKHM) will end on August 29 (Sunday). Members of the public should grasp the final opportunity to visit the not-to-be-missed exhibition.
 
     The exhibition showcases 170 sets of imperial artefacts from the collection of the Moscow Kremlin Museums, including staffs, holy relics, harnesses, weapons, articles from foreign diplomats, ornaments worn by queens and toys of princes. By illustrating the life of the Russian court, namely the monarch's coronation ceremony, ceremonial departure, military power, diplomacy and court life from the 16th to 18th centuries, the exhibition demonstrates how the political, religious and cultural environment of that era created the glorious monarchy of the Tsar of All Russia.
 
     The exhibition is open from 10am to 6pm on weekdays, from 10am to 7pm at weekends, and closed on Tuesdays. The exhibition is being held at the HKHM (1 Man Lam Road, Sha Tin).
 
     The exhibition is jointly presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and the Moscow Kremlin Museums and jointly organised by the HKHM and the Moscow Kremlin Museums. Solely sponsored by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, it is one of the exhibitions in the Hong Kong Jockey Club Series.
