K11 Musea, Hong Kong

Those that reside in Hong Kong (or will be in the city anytime soon) are lucky enough to be able to experience K11 Musea, a new cultural-retail destination on Victoria Dockside. The new space meets a growing demand for art, culture and commerce to co-exist and be naturally immersive. 

As one would expect from a new destination in one of the coolest cities in the world, after 10 years of planning, K11 Musea features cutting edge architectural design through collaborative works from 100 of the world's finest creatives fused with a celebration of curated arts and culture. Key features of the exciting launch include the imposing Opera Theatre (K11 MUSEA’s atrium) where natural light shines through its 35m high Oculus, down to the centrepiece The Gold Ball, the beating heart of this muse by the sea and a multi-dimensional architectural marvel within the complex that doubles as a versatile space for ground-breaking exhibitions. On the exterior, The Sunken Plaza, an amphitheatre which measures approximately 2,000sqft, has a (1,800sqft) curved glass wall with programmed lighting and water installations that provides the perfect backdrop to a series of events, theatrical performances and talks which form part of KULTURE 11, a cultural events programme within K11 MUSEA. The cultural-retail destination is also home to the first MoMA Design Store in Greater China, and the biggest in Asia.

In line with an ongoing commitment to and passion for the propagation of Hong Kong’s art and cultural scene, visitors have access to over 40 renowned art pieces at K11 MUSEA: a rotating collection of public art and site-specific art that forms one of the city’s largest showcases of public art. From international pieces, including Van Gogh’s Ear by Elmgreen & Dragset, alongside a site specific artwork from Korakrit Arunanondchai, Big Big Company (Mini Golf) by Hong Kong artist Samson Young, the Hot Dog Bus by Erwin Wurm and Parrots of Five Colours by Zhang Enli, Untitled by Katharina Grosse, two works by Hong Kong-based Adrian Wong as well as the entire third floor covered in graffiti, created on-site by nine artists including American contemporary artist Ron English and Chinese artist Geng Yini,  viewers can enjoy a personal education of them via guided art tours and the mobile app.
