Tracing an Extraordinary Life

The evening offered our members an exclusive look at rare, original artifacts structured around four thematic journeys tracking the life of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Attendees moved through his early life and cherished memories in the Overview section, followed his pioneering flights as The Explorer, examined his military tenure as a WWII Hero, and immersed themselves in manuscripts and global translations in The Little Prince dedicated wing.

An Evening of Distinction

The ceremony was graced by prominent Guests of Honour, including Mrs Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, and Mr Adrien Guiraud, Representative of the Saint-Exupéry-d'Agay Family Estate. Their presence highlighted the deep diplomatic and enduring cultural synergy that underpins this exhibition, celebrating a profound milestone in Sino-French cultural exchange.
