Arts & Culture

From Canto pop and Chinese opera to Broadway musicals and acclaimed international dance troupes, orchestras and art fairs, Hong Kong's vibrant cultural scene echoes the city's East-meets-West culture.

A progressive vision for the arts is leading Hong Kong to the forefront of the international art world. The city's arts scene is flourishing, with international galleries and exhibitions, younger art spaces showing edgy work by emerging artists, auctions and growing interest in digital art.

The harbourfront West Kowloon Cultural District is one of the largest cultural developments in the world. It is home to the Xiqu Centre dedicated to Chinese opera, as well as to two new museums, M+ and the Hong Kong Palace Museum.

The M+ Collection is an interdisciplinary collection of visual culture that brings together design and architecture, moving image, and visual art works from Hong Kong, mainland China and beyond. It possesses one of the world's foremost collections of 20th and 21st century visual art. The Hong Kong Palace Museum presents the finest objects on loan from the Palace Museum in Beijing and build partnerships with other leading cultural institutions around the world.
