M+ Museum offers: Exhibitions + Cinemas + Restaurants +The Roof Garden
The West Kowloon Cultural District of Hong Kong is located on the waterfront of Victoria Harbour and the southern end of West Kowloon. It aims to promote Hong Kong as a global cultural tourism destination, and the M+ building is one of the main buildings in the West Kowloon Cultural District. Designed by a global team of the world-renowned architecture practice Herzog & de Meuron in partnership with TFP Farrells and Arup, the 65,000-square-metre M+ building is among Hong Kong’s most iconic landmarks, both monumental in its architectural form and radically open in its position in the urban landscape. The monumental architecture consists of a striking terracotta tile-clad tower, featuring a dynamic LED system on the south facade for the display of M+ content, defining the museum’s place within the urban landscape and contributing to the city’s vibrant night-time environment. The Found Space, M+’s signature display space for major installations, is a striking setting at the B2 level defined by the alignment of the underground rail tunnels above which the M+ building sits.
M+ Opening Programmes - 6 Thematic Exhibitions
Around 1,500 works drawn from the M+ Collections will be presented in the 17,000 square-metre exhibition space that spans across thirty-three galleries and other display spaces in the museum.
