``The museum aims to reach a broader worldwide audience,'' Hong Kong Leisure and Cultural Services Director Thomas Chow said at a packed preview of the event late yesterday.
Highlights include 2 million-year-old ``chopping stones'' from Africa, a drawing of a nude man by Da Vinci, an Egyptian mummy board from 945 BC called the ``Unlucky Mummy'' because of a supposed curse; and a Nordic walrus-ivory chess piece found in Scotland.
