Joining a host of other landmark attractions on the storied
Victoria Harbour waterfront, such as the newly opened M+ Museum and
recently renovated Hong Kong Museum of Art, the HKPM elevates the
city’s lineup of renowned museums and enriches its diversity of the
arts and culture scene.
What’s more, the much-loved “A Symphony of Lights” will bathe
Victoria Harbour alongside the HKPM in lights, music and colors
with an enchanting special edition program every night in July.
Beginning at 8pm every night, the captivating spectacle will
feature new elements including a fleet of six Star Ferries adorned
with glittering light installations, and expand to include new
landmarks, such as the HKPM and M+.
Dane Cheng, Executive Director of the Hong Kong Tourism Board,
said, “We are delighted to welcome the Hong Kong Palace Museum to
Hong Kong’s artistic and cultural landscape and the West Kowloon
Cultural District. Exciting, dynamic and constantly evolving, the
district is brimming with activities and discoveries that
underscore Hong Kong’s reputation as a leading destination for arts
and culture lovers. We believe this world-class museum will
generate even more interest for Hong Kong as an arts and cultural
destination and solidify the city’s position as a center for
international cultural exchange.”
The HKPM is a must-visit attraction for arts and culture lovers,
and a treasure trove of rare artifacts. It houses one of the
world’s most impressive collections of Chinese ceramics and more
than 900 works of art on loan from the esteemed Palace Museum in
Beijing – among the largest and finest lend the Palace Museum has
ever made to another cultural institution outside the Mainland
since its establishment. The HKPM also displays 13 precious pieces
borrowed from the Louvre as a testament to the museum’s role as an
East-meets-West Centre for International Cultural Exchange.
