The exhibition “The Empress Regnant – Wu Zetian and the Divine Capital of Luoyang” will be held on the third floor of the Macao Museum from 24 September 2026 to 28 February 2027.
The exhibition’s opening ceremony will be held at the Mount Fortress Garden at 6 pm on Wednesday.
Organised by Macau SAR’s Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) and the Henan Provincial Administration of Cultural Heritage, the exhibition aims to promote historical and cultural exchanges between Henan and Macau, and to leverage the latter’s role as a vital window for exchange and mutual learning between Chinese and Western civilisations, according to the IC.
Featuring a total of 126 pieces/sets of precious artefacts collected from eight cultural and museum institutions in Henan Province, the exhibition is divided into five thematic sections: “The Lofty Imperial Palaces”, “A Flourishing of Arts and Ideas”, “A Prosperous and Harmonious Age”, “Eternity of Honour and Sorrow” and “All under Heaven as One Family”.
Through architectural components, inscriptions, gold tablet, sculptures, porcelain and pottery figurines, the exhibition presents the advanced development of urban planning, traditional craftsmanship, religious art, and economic trade during the Tang dynasty, as well as the social atmosphere of multicultural integration and openness to the outside world.

The Macao Museum is open daily, except Mondays, from 10 am to 6 pm. For more information visit the museum’s official website or contact 2835 7911.
