Heritage

Located in the West Kowloon Cultural District, the M + building is one of the world's top modern and contemporary visual culture museums.
 
The building is jointly designed by TFP Farrells and Arup engineering consultants led by Herzog & de Meuron. Its horizontal base platform and slender longitudinal building form an inverted "t".
 
The broad base platform boasts 17000 meters of exhibition space, including 33 exhibition halls, three theatres, a multimedia centre, a schoolhouse and a rooftop garden with a full view of Victoria Harbour, all of which is suspended above ground. In addition, the longitudinal building has a museum research centre, offices, restaurants and M + hall on the 11th floor.
 
The curtain wall of the building facing the Victoria Harbour is equipped with LED screens displaying mobile image works of artists for the public on the other side at West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade and Hong Kong Island. Moreover, the design allows visitors to enter the museum from multiple locations on the ground and underground.

M+ New Exhibition: ‘Shanshui: Echoes and Signals’

Starting from 3 February, M+ will launch a new thematic exhibition called 'Shanshui: Echoes and Signals'. The exhibition reimagines shanshui through sculpture, moving image, sound, design and architecture, and ink painting. Over the course of its two-year display period, ‘Shanshui: Echoes and Signals’ will be punctuated by regular rotations of works by major international artists, architects, and moving image makers.

Four Main Theme
 
Museum plus (M +) means having more functions and horizons than traditional museums. It officially opened on November 12, 2021, making it one of the first major cultural facilities in the West Kowloon Cultural Zone. Dedicated to collecting, displaying and interpreting visual art, design and architecture, mobile images and Hong Kong's visual culture in the 20th and 21st centuries, the brand new museum's exhibits are based on Hong Kong's historical characteristics in combining China and the West.
 

For example: Modern ink painting, painting, photography, sculpture, installation art, performance art, participatory art.

For example: graphic design, product design, architectural design

For example: popular movies, experimental videos, animation, image devices

In Asia and especially Hong Kong, collaboration and cross-border cultural integration between different disciplines produced creative directions in design and architecture, mobile images and visual art. So naturally, Hong Kong's visual culture is listed as the fourth key area to present the deep foundation of popular culture, popular material culture, printing culture and media culture in Hong Kong, including overlapping achievements in design and architecture, mobile image and visual art.
 
Hong Kong's visual culture is both geographically and thematically unique. The museum's location is essential in deepening the connection with the place.

The opening exhibition comprises six special exhibitions, reflecting various key areas of M + collection. It shows the visual artworks, mobile image works, designs, architectural projects and archival collections in the M + collection series collected by the museum since 2012. The exhibitions are as follows:
 

 
Besides the main exhibition hall, M+ will exhibit a series of commissioned works and displays in different public spaces such as M+ Facade giant steps, studios, rooftop gardens and Found Spaces.
