Among the artifacts to be displayed are ornaments worn by queens, princes’ toys, weapons, and articles from foreign diplomats, the government said.

“The exhibition not only provides a rare opportunity for visitors in Hong Kong to appreciate the imperial grandeur of Russia, but also enables the public to interact with other cultures when international travel restrictions are in place,” Secretary for Home Affairs Caspar Tsui Ying-wai was quoted as saying in the release.
