Hong Kong Palace Museum

ArrayYour Experience
Hong Kong Palace Museum is where you need to be if you are an art enthusiast. Located in the West Kowloon Cultural District, the museum consists of nine galleries and houses almost 1,000 precious relics from the Palace Museum in Beijing, including the dragon robe donned by Qing Emperor Kangxi and the Nymph of the Luo River, which are must-see artifacts that you can't afford to miss out on.
Hong Kong Palace Museum is a treasure trove of rare antiques and features one of the most phenomenal collections of Chinese ceramics in the entire world. There are nine galleries at the museum. Two galleries showcase Hong Kong art collections and multimedia projects. Five galleries hold thematic exhibitions illustrating the country's history and culture, and the last two are dedicated to displays of Chinese art and antiquities. A 400-seat auditorium, activity rooms, learning, resource center, and atriums with viewing decks, restaurants, and gift shops complement the museum's amenities.
Designed by Rocco Design Architects, the museum aims to be a modern and innovative interpretation of traditional aesthetics, taking design cues from Hong Kong's urban areas and Chinese architecture. The Hong Kong Palace Museum exemplifies how traditional Chinese architecture can be blended with modern aesthetics and cutting-edge technology.
The museum's 'vertical center axis,' inspired by Beijing's central axis, is one of its notable architectural features. Vertical links between the floors, which help people move upward, have been created with the help of the three atriums, each facing a different direction. Visitors can enjoy views of the Hong Kong Island skyline, the entrance plaza, and Lantau Island from the atriums and enjoy the museum's synergy with its environment.
