Construction for the museum has now been completed by Herzog & de Meuron, the project will now open at the end of 2021.
Located in Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District, M+, the museum of modern and contemporary visual culture occupies an area of 65,000sq m, including 17,000sq m of exhibition space. The attraction also features three cinemas, restaurants, shops, a ‘mediatheque’, learning hub and research centre.
The museum’s façade will feature an LED system that displays content and the majority of the museum’s galleries are located on a podium level to offer visitors a fluid and interconnected experience.
Suhanya Raffel, Museum Director of M+, commented: “This is a major milestone for the museum. As we mark the building completion, our opening preparations are in full swing. We have moved into our permanent home, and I am thrilled to be able to say we can soon welcome visitors from Hong Kong and beyond to M+.”
