Opened in July 2022, the Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) is located in the West Kowloon Cultural District, steps away from M+. Designed by Hong Kong architect Rocco Yim, its modernist structure—inspired by traditional Chinese courtyard layouts and bronze textures—bridges imperial grandeur with contemporary innovation. Housing over 900 priceless artifacts from Beijing’s Palace Museum (the Forbidden City), alongside rotating global exhibitions, HKPM illuminates 5,000 years of Chinese art, history, and craftsmanship. From Ming dynasty ceramics to Qing court paintings, HKPM reimagines imperial treasures for global audience.
