Hong Kong’s M+ museum is opening to the public on 12 November, after years of construction and delays.
M+, located in Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District, will open on 12 November. It is Asia’s first global museum of contemporary visual culture, displaying visual art, design, architecture and moving images.
The M+ museum will showcase around 1,500 works in 17,000sq m of exhibition space across 33 galleries. The museum’s opening displays will include six thematic exhibitions.
“I firmly believe that the future history of the art museum will be written to a significant degree in Asia,” said Suhanya Raffel, M+ Director. “Few institutions will be more pivotal to that story than M+, a brand new centre for visual culture and a world-class landmark for a great international city.”
“M+ delivers the stories from our part of the world, told by voices participating in and influencing the global conversation,” Raffel added.
M+ was designed by Herzog & de Meuron in partnership with TFP Farrells and Arup. The building covers 65,000sq m and joins Hong Kong’s most iconic landmarks.
The institution’s amenities include two shops, restaurants, and the Roof Garden, offering incredible views of Hong Kong‘s skyline. The Other Shop and CURATOR Creative Café at M+ are already open to the public.
