The highly-anticipated M+ Art Museum will open to the public on November 12 and it is free for all during the first 12 months.
The 65,000sq m is located within the West Kowloon Cultural District and it has been designed by renowned Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron. The waterfront museum, which features a large LED system on its harbour-facing façade that displays collections, special commissions, and other museum-related content, is a striking addition to the city’s skyline.
Inside, the building features 17,000sq m of exhibition space across 33 galleries, and house various facilities across public spaces including a rooftop garden, research centre, multimedia library, restaurants, cinemas, and the Found Space.
The museum will open with six thematic exhibitions including the Hong Kong: Here and Beyond exhibition, which captures the cultural transformation of the city from the 1960s to the present day. Other exhibitions will cover themes of architecture and design, post-war art, and conceptual art.
