Private to Public: The History of Chinese Art Collecting in Hong Kong


  • Hong Kong Palace Museum Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon Hong Kong SAR China (map)

Beginning in the late nineteenth century, an influx of people and antiquities from Mainland China turned Hong Kong into a prosperous metropolis and a hub for collecting Chinese art. At first held privately, many collections have now become accessible to the public. Featuring over 100 objects, this exhibition surveys for the first time over a century of Chinese art collecting in Hong Kong, paying homage to the collectors, scholars, and enthusiasts who have promoted Chinese culture at home and abroad.
