Chris Price (Pricey)
★★★★★a month agoA brilliant way to spend the day in Hong Kong. M+ Museum was super easy to get to by ferry, and the building itself is worth the visit, beautiful, modern, and perfectly suited to the scale of the work inside. The collections and exhibitions are thoughtfully spread over multiple levels, with a great mix of contemporary art, design, architecture, and visual culture. The shop was excellent too. We absolutely loved it ♥️
Elaine Vukadinovich
★★★★★5 months agoThe architecture of the museum and the rooftop garden and its view alone make M+ worth the visit! The art collection is stunning! The Robert Rauschenberg and Zao Wou Ki exhibitions were serious highlights. We feel fortunate to have had the exposure to the Asian arts this museum provided. A true must do for any trip to Hong Kong. Highly recommended!
