The Hong Kong Palace Museum is a planned museum exhibiting artefacts of Beijing’s Palace Museum in Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD). Construction began in April 2019 and it will open in July with its first exhibition !
The Hong Kong Palace Museum aspires to become one of the world’s leading cultural institutions committed to the study and appreciation of Chinese art and culture, while advancing dialogue among world civilisations through international partnerships.
This Museum is a collaborative project between the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority and the Beijing’s Palace Museum.
A global vision
Embracing new curatorial approaches, the Museum will offer a Hong Kong perspective and a global vision, presenting the finest objects from the Palace Museum and other important cultural institutions around the world. Through innovative research and travelling exhibitions, as well as educational, cultural, and professional exchange programmes, the Museum will build international partnerships and help position Hong Kong as a hub for art and cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world.
As a world-class institution, the Museum is, at heart, a cultural resource that belongs to the community of Hong Kong. And as a dynamic platform, it will inspire community engagement, foster dialogue and partnerships, and promote creativity and interdisciplinary collaboration.

The Hong Kong Palace Museum presents over 900 priceless treasures from the Palace Museum of Beijing. Many of them are on display in Hong Kong for the first time, while others have never been shown to the public before. The Museum regularly presents special exhibitions featuring Chinese art and culture, as well as art and treasures from other parts of the world.
