Shanghai Museum's 'Meow Night' unleashes feline frenzy

Shanghai Museum's new exhibition of Egyptian antiquities has been the cat's meow this summer, attracting hordes of visitors and, on Saturday nights, a furry contingent of around 200 felines who come to prowl among the relics.

In a unique tribute to the ancient Egyptian reverence for Bastet — often depicted as a woman with the head of a domestic cat and known to be a goddess of protection — the museum has pioneered an innovative exhibit experience, in what it believes is a world first. Visitors are invited to bring their own feline companions to engage with 'The Secrets of Saqqara' display, fostering an immersive connection between modern cat lovers and the revered traditions of Egypt's past.
