Egyptian exhibition's ticket sales resume after weekend crowd chaos

The Hong Kong Palace Museum on Sunday has resumed on-site ticket sales for the "Treasures from the Egyptian Museum" after it was temporarily suspended.

Ticket sales, which are implemented on a "first come, first serve" basis, have resumed since 3:30 p.m. this Sunday afternoon.

Meanwhile, the museum has extended its opening hours to 8 p.m. to accommodate weekend visitors.

Launched on Thursday, the Egyptian exhibition displays 250 treasures, including gold ornaments and mummy coffins.

Visitors will have an opportunity to view them until August next year.
