Hong Kong Museum of Art

The territory's principal art museum, occupying a redesigned building on the Tsim Sha Tsui harbour front with galleries opening onto the skyline across the water. Its collections span Chinese antiquities, calligraphy, and painting, historic pictures of the China coast, and modern and contemporary Hong Kong art. A major renovation added glass-walled exhibition floors and a rooftop terrace framing the harbour. Beside the cultural centre and promenade, it pairs artistic heritage with a famous urban view.
