Hong Kong Museum Of Arts
The Hong Kong Museum of Arts, located at No. 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, is the first public art museum in Hong Kong. It was established in 1962 and now custodian of an art collection of over 18,800 items by curating a wide world of contrasts from old to new, Chinese to Western, local to international etc.
It was closed since August 2015 and after major expansion and renovation in 2019, it was reopened for public.
A total of 7 floors with 6 floor exhibiting art pieces. Currently presenting Portrait Play, Shopping in Canton, In-between, City Rhymes (Melodious Notes of Calligraphy), Creative Chinese Characters, etc. Exhibitions are on temporary basis so it would be different next time when you visit again.
There are video show booking and barrier free facilities equipped. New innovations such as visual display board, assistive listening system, baby care room etc are installed.
Not enough time to read every details of the art pieces, but we did have a good time here and learnt the essences of some art pieces. We ended the visit by getting souvenirs exclusively for and only available in the Hong Kong Museum of Arts :) Souvenirs such as notebook and memopads are nicely designed and useful!
