Artists and Research

The HKMoA is committed to collecting artworks by local artists and their donated personal materials, and at the same time carrying out research projects in collaboration with various organisations and individuals using the Museum's collections and materials. This part contains the collection artists, their donated materials and outcomes of the research projects to aid research into Hong Kong art. Appointments are required for on-site access to some of the audio and visual materials, while other material has been put online for public access. New materials will continue to be uploaded.
