2025-10-03

This November, Shanghai's World Expo Museum will unveil a landmark cultural exhibition, From Olympus to Capitoline.


Held in collaboration with National Museums Liverpool, the exhibition brings together 131 rare artifacts on loan from the United Kingdom. Among the highlights are 76 original sculptures that capture the artistry and craftsmanship of ancient times, over 10 statues depicting major deities that offer a glimpse into the spiritual life of the Roman world, and 26 busts of Roman emperors and nobles that provide insight into the personalities who shaped history.


Divided into three thematic sections, the exhibition blends multimedia presentations and reconstructed settings to trace the evolution of Roman mythology, the expansion of the empire, and the vivid daily life of its people.
