The bustling Huaihai Road in Shanghai has welcomed a new addition to its array of shops and attractions – the pop-up store „Pyramid @ Huaihai.“ This unique store, located at 864 Huaihai Road M., offers a range of ancient Egyptian-themed merchandise that mirrors the items sold at the Shanghai Museum’s souvenir store. The collaboration between the Huaihai Group and the museum aims to bring the popular exhibition „On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization of Ancient Egypt“ into the heart of the city’s shopping district.
Visitors to the store can expect to find over 600 creative products inspired by the exhibition, including clothing, home goods, tech accessories, and souvenirs such as „Egyptian God plush keychains“ and „Anubis fridge magnets.“ These items have been in high demand at the museum, often selling out quickly both online and in-store. The pop-up shop is set to remain open until August 17, 2025, offering immersive experiences for shoppers, including staff dressed in Egyptian costumes and a series of themed events.
In addition to shopping, the store will host a variety of events throughout the year that celebrate Egyptian culture. Workshops, themed promotions, special performances, and even Egyptian-themed ice cream will be available for visitors to enjoy. The goal of the store is to create a new cultural and shopping destination in Shanghai, blending the ancient wonders of Egypt with the modern flair of the city.
The initiative is part of Huangpu District’s broader efforts to combine cultural and commercial experiences, providing a unique opportunity for locals and tourists alike to engage with the rich history of ancient Egypt. The exhibition at the Shanghai Museum, which opened on July 19, features nearly 800 artifacts, many of which are being displayed in Asia for the first time. This cultural exchange between China and Egypt will continue until August 2025, drawing significant attention and making the pop-up shop a must-visit destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the wonders of ancient Egypt.
