“Building M+: The Museum and Architecture Collection” presents a preview of Hong Kong’s newest multidisciplinary museum for visual culture. The future M+ building will provide over 60,000 square-meter of exhibition space in a prominent site set in the West Kowloon Cultural District overlooking Victoria Harbour.
Designed by renowned Swiss architectural practice Herzog & de Meuron, with Hong Kong-based TFP Farrells and Ove Arup & Partners HK, the M+ building is scheduled for completion in late 2017.
The exhibition also marks the debut of the museum’s growing architecture collection which includes over 100 works and materials, many previously unseen, dating from the 1920s until now.
