About the Museum
The Hong Kong Museum of
Art is one of the museums managed by the Leisure & Cultural
Services Department. Established in 1962, it was first
housed in the City Hall, moving to its present purpose-built
premises by the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in 1991. The
museum also has a branch, the Flagstaff House Museum
of Tea Ware, located in Hong Kong Park.
It is the mission of the Hong Kong Museum of Art to
preserve the cultural heritage of China and promote
art with a local focus. Its collections now number
in excess of 14,000 art objects, including Chinese
paintings and calligraphy works, antique Chinese treasures,
paintings of historical significance as well as creations
by local artists. The highlights of the collections
are on display in the exhibition galleries. To maintain
an essential international character, the museum also
presents a great variety of thematic exhibitions drawn
from local and overseas sources.
Promoting art among the general public is one of the museum's main objectives,
and a wide range of educational programmes are organized in support of the
exhibitions to enhance participants' knowledge of and interest in artistic
creation.
While navigating through our web pages, please remember that you are always
very welcome to visit us in person. After all, there's no substitute for
the enjoyable and moving experience of encountering a work of art at first
hand!
