CURRENT EXHIBITIONS
KINGS’ INSCRIPTIONS – CONTEMPORARY INTERPRETATIONS (until 18th February 2024)
OIL STREET ART SPACE (Oi!) launched the "Archaic
Curator Series" last year and invited young Chinese art historians to
serve as guest curators to showcase contemporary art that draws upon
traditional Chinese culture. The second exhibition of the series, "Kings'
Inscriptions‧Contemporary Interpretations" runs from 28th September 2023 until 18th February 2024. Taking three inscriptions
overarching 1 000 years that are related to the "king" as a
starting point, guest curator Dr Sarah Ng invites artists to respond to these
written writings through creative works of written texts, inscribed engravings
and ink rubbings, enabling the audience to appreciate the cultural connotations
and history of traditional Chinese art.
Dr Ng uses the Stele of Mount Yi, which commemorates the achievements of
Qin Shi Huang; "Sung Wong Toi", an inscription rock repaired in the
Qing dynasty commemorating the temporary residence of Zhao Shi and Zhao Bing,
the last two kings of the Southern Song dynasty, and the street writing of the
self-proclaimed "King of Kowloon", Tsang Tsou Choi as the starting
point and connects the past and the present to highlight the uniqueness and
artistic value of Chinese calligraphy, engraved steles and ink rubbings. She
has invited six artists from both local and overseas backgrounds to create
artworks in different media, including Lee Wing Ki's installation "Tsang's
Odyssey-Dream"; Lee Yun Woon's gold ink calligraphy on purple fabric
"Blessings to Hong Kong"; Leung Kwan Kiu's community participation
project "I Love You"; Leong Lampo's digital ink generative video art
installation "Heavenly Inquiry"; Tso Cheuk Yim's mixed-media work
"See You, Old Hong Kong"; and Yeung Yuk Kan's handbuilt porcelain
installation "Eastern Echo". The exhibition aims to provide a guide
for audiences to appreciate traditional Chinese culture and art from a new
perspective.

Tso Cheuk Yim's mixed-media work, "See You, Old Hong
Kong"

YESTERDAY’S VACATION IN HK (from 15th September 2023 until September 2024)
The PUBLIC RECORDS OFFICE of the Government Records Service
has launched its annual thematic exhibition "Yesterday's Vacation in
HK", which takes visitors on a journey through Hong Kong's
past. The exhibition runs from 15th September 2023 until September 2024.
Featuring a selection of tourism-related archival holdings from the 1950s to
the 1980s, the exhibition unveils visitors' diverse experiences in the city and
a variety of tourist attractions under four themes, namely "Sight and
Scenes", "Shopping Paradise", "Paradise for Foodies",
and "Happenings in the City". Do you still remember how the original Peak
Tower - one of
the distinctive landmarks in Hong Kong - looked
like before its redevelopment? How did the Sung
Dynasty Village
and the Haw Par
Mansion demonstrate Chinese
traditional culture and characteristics? In addition to the sightseeing spots
in urban areas, the information for visitors at that time also recommended
various attractions beyond the city's hustle and bustle, such as the New
Territories and the outlying
islands, to visitors craving a relaxing holiday.
The exhibition also sheds light on different facets of lives in old Hong
Kong. Shopping malls began to emerge in Hong Kong
in the 1960s, which allowed visitors to shop at modern and glamorous shopping
arcades apart from treasure hunting at street-level shops and traditional
markets. Sampans at the typhoon shelters, floating restaurants, dai pai dongs
(on-street cooked food stalls), and Chinese restaurants are the common food memories
of both locals and visitors of Hong Kong. A wide
range of events, including the Dragon Boat Festival races and the Festival of
Asian Arts, were windows for visitors to experience the city's unique blend of
traditional and modern elements. The "Yesterday's Vacation in HK"
exhibition provides an entry point to rediscover Hong
Kong's distinctiveness through the lens of visitors.

In the 1960s, shopping malls began to emerge in Hong
Kong. Modern and glamourous shopping arcades provided visitors
with convenience and endless choices. Apart from big shopping complexes,
visitors would also treasure hunt at street-level shops and traditional
markets.
Members of the public are welcome to visit the Exhibition Hall where a
selection of over 70 archival holdings is on view. A thematic backdrop near the
entrance of the Exhibition Hall offers a photogenic spot for visitors to begin
their exhibition journey. An "Exhibition
Pass" booklet is also
available on-site. The exhibition opens from Monday to Friday, from 9am to
5.45pm (except for public holidays), in the Exhibition Hall on the second floor
of the Hong Kong Public Records Building, 13 Tsui Ping Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon.
Admission is free.

A TALE OF THREE CITIES: GUANGDONG - HONG KONG - MACAO GREATER BAY AREA AND EXPORT OF SILK PRODUCTS IN THE MING AND QING DYNASTIES (until 17th December 2023)
Jointly organised by the Guangdong Museum, the Macao Museum
and the Hong Kong Museum of Art, the touring exhibition "A Tale of Three
Cities: Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Export of Silk Products
in the Ming and Qing Dynasties" is being held from 8th September to 17th
December 2023 at the HONG KONG MUSEUM OF ART. This exhibition brings together
108 sets of artefacts from the three museums to showcase the Greater Bay Area
landscape and silk production during the Ming and Qing dynasties, allowing
visitors to explore the connections among the three places and stories of
cultural exchanges between East and West through the Maritime
Silk Road.
In support of the cultural co-operation of the Greater Bay Area, the three
museums jointly launch this touring exhibition from 2020 to 2023. Following its
inaugural run in Guangzhou and
second exhibition in Macao, the
touring exhibition comes to its final stop in Hong Kong.
The exhibition displays the determination of Guangdong,
Hong Kong, and Macao
to jointly overcome the pandemic and continue to foster co-operation despite
the difficulties. As an East-meets-West centre for international cultural
exchanges, Hong Kong also serves as an external platform
linking Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao and the rest of the world. This major
exhibition will offer a diverse cultural experience to audiences from around the
world. Hong Kong will be the host city of the
Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Culture and Arts Festival. By
leveraging the advantages of having excellent art and cultural resources and
through co-operation among cities, Hong Kong actively promotes the initiative
of "Jointly Developing a Cultured Bay Area" advocated in the Outline
Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, with a
view to bringing more captivating art and cultural experiences to the people of
Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area as well as travellers from around the world.
From the Qin and Han dynasties, the region along the Pearl River estuary, with
Canton (Guangzhou) at its centre, was an important starting point on the
Maritime Silk Road and has always been a hub on international trade routes.
With the increased connectivity of the maritime trade routes during the Ming
and Qing dynasties, Chinese silk was shipped all over the world through the
Greater Bay Area as an important mass commodity. The export of silk witnessed
the legacy of the handicraft industry in Guangdong,
Hong Kong and Macao
and the process of the global integration of trade. Today, the craftsmanship of
silk embroidery continues to flourish and enriches the cultural heritage of the
Greater Bay Area, while contributing to the strengthening of the cultural soft
power of the region.
The exhibition features valuable exhibits including China
trade paintings; exported fine silk fabrics such as jacquard fabric,
hand-painted silk and silk embroidery products; clothing, accessories and home
fabrics in four sections: "The Greater Bay Area", "Silk
Exports", "Crossroads of Silk and Silver" and "The Greater
Bay Area Today". Highlight exhibits include oil paintings depicting the
landscapes in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao from the 19th century, titled
"Victoria City", "The Praia Grande, Macao" and
"Thirteen Hongs (Factories) of Canton"; and three grade-three
national treasures from the Qing dynasty, which are the white silk wallpaper
with hand-painted flowers and birds, the ingenious set of Canton embroidered
folding screen with the scene of birthday greetings from the Eight Immortals
and a Woman's robe embroidered with flowers and butterflies and rank badge on
red satin applying the "sanlanxiu" technique. Other notable exhibits
include a lacquered wood sewing table with pattern in gold from the 19th
century, and yellow costume with gold and silver sequin embroidery dating from
the 1940s to 1960s.

The exhibition brings together 108 sets of artefacts from
the three museums to showcase the Greater Bay Area landscape and silk
production during the Ming and Qing dynasties
To coincide with the exhibition, Hong Kong artist Janko Lam has created a
site-specific art installation, "Those Days - Out There", which will
be a studio outside the gallery that invites visitors to travel through the
past, present and future from a fashion designer's perspective and showcases
new fashion pieces to recreate the classics.
In collaboration with the Hong
Kong Polytechnic University's
School of Fashion
and Textiles, the Computer Aided Fashion Intelligence (CAFI) research group and
digital fashion students for the first time, the exhibition uses Augmented
Reality and Virtual Reality technologies to showcase the exhibits from multiple
perspectives. Through the integration of art and technology, visitors are
invited to virtually try on Chinese silk costumes and participate in a fashion
show that bridges the past and present.
The exhibition will is located at the Chinese Antiquities Gallery on the third
floor of the museum (10 Salisbury Road,
Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon) with free
admission. The exhibition is jointly presented by the Department of Culture and
Tourism of Guangdong Province, the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of the
Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and the Cultural
Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government; and is jointly organised by the Guangdong
Museum, the Hong Kong Museum of Art
and the Macao Museum.

DRESS iN TiME / Oi! ONSITE EXHIBITION OF ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE - SAD KITCHEN: Oi! GUIDE - A COMFORT FOOD JOURNEY (until 7th January 2024)
OIL STREET ART SPACE (Oi!) has launched two new exhibitions,
"DRESS iN TiME" and "Oi! OnSite Exhibition of Artists in
Residence - SAD Kitchen: Oi! Guide - A Comfort Food Journey" with the
theme of clothing and food respectively to allow visitors to experience the
North Point community where Oi! is located and the stories of Hong
Kong. The exhibitions run from 1st September 2023 until 7th January 2024.
Fashion designer Toby Crispy responds to today's fast-paced culture through the craft of stitching. She has collected over 130 stitch patterns and stories about Hong Kong from members of the public who participated in the previous project "SLOW STiTCH NOMAD @ Oi!" held in Oi! After reorganisation and compilation, these patterns have been combined with refurbished old clothes to create 15 sets of upcycled garments and art installations for display in the "DRESS iN TiME" exhibition. The exhibition includes elements of moving images and lighting designs to express the flow of time and changes of the city, offering a multi-sensory experience to audiences. A series of interactive workshops would be held to tie in with the exhibition so that audiences can understand the story behind each stitch pattern and learn to share their impressions of the city through stitching, jointly participating in weaving together the collective memories of Hong Kong.

"DRESS iN TiME" shares the city's stories through
stitch patterns
"Oi! OnSite Exhibition of Artists in Residence" invited artist Silas Fong this year to turn the Oi! Warehouse into a "kitchen" and invite audiences to explore different kinds of personal emotions and the community's relationship related to food through a site-specific game setting. In "SAD Kitchen: Oi! Guide - A Comfort Food Journey", audiences are encouraged to find the hidden psychological test questions at different corners or on different objects in the "kitchen" and complete the psychological test. Audiences will receive an exclusive "Comfort Food Guide" according to the results. The guide will lead audiences to find comfort food in the North Point community, hoping that food can be used as a means for cultural and social construction and connecting people, places and stories.

THE ART OF LIVING: STATIONERY AND TEA ACCESSORIES OF THE CHINESE LITERATI (until 30th September 2024)
FLAGSTAFF HOUSE MUSEUM OF TEA WARE is staging an exhibition "The Art of Living:
Stationery and Tea Accessories of the Chinese Literati", featuring nearly
100 sets of stationery items and tea accessories of the Ming and Qing dynasties
selected from the collections of the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Flagstaff
House Museum of Tea Ware to illustrate the passion for antiquity and aesthetics
of the Chinese literati. The exhibition runs from 2nd August 2023 until 30th September 2024. Admission is free.
Since the Ming dynasty, Chinese literati had developed an increasingly
sophisticated lifestyle with a keen interest in stationery and collectibles to
demonstrate their superior taste and socio-economic standing. These items were
crafted by skilled artisans employing fine techniques and various materials,
and they conveyed a feeling of uniqueness and cultural significance. The
exhibition presents artefacts including stationery, collectibles and tea
accessories made of materials such as bamboo, jade, stone and purple clay.
Through the exhibition, visitors can learn more about the significance of these
materials and the objects made from them in the Chinese culture and literati
life.
Highlight exhibits include an incense-burner made of bamboo and a jade
wrist-rest used in writing carved with bamboo design from the Qing dynasty; a
brush washer in lotus shape said to be the work of Chen Mingyuan, a renowned
zisha master from the Qing dynasty; a teapot in gourd shape with prunus painted
in famille-rose enamel created by calligrapher, painter and seal engraver Qu
Yingshao from the Qing dynasty; and a rhinoceros horn cup carved with mantis and
butterfly design.
In addition to qin (Chinese zither), chess, calligraphy, painting, reading and
meditation, tea appreciation was also popular among the literati. At
gatherings, the literati would consume tea and exchange ideas and they were
very conscientious about the usage of tea equipment, the environment and the
logistics of preparing a tea ceremony. The exhibition will introduce to
visitors the basic setup of a Chinese tea ceremony. Visitors can create their
own design of tea ceremony through an interactive installation titled "Tea
Appreciation Space: My Proposal for Tea Ceremony", to experience the charm
of Chinese tea culture and enjoy the elegance of tea appreciation.

A MATCH MADE IN PAINTING: SELECTED WORKS OF XIE ZHILIU AND CHEN PEIQUI FROM THE JINGGUANLOU COLLECTION - and - BEYOND BLESSINGS: BIRTHDAY GREETINGS FOR THE MASTER OF CHIH LO LOU (both exhibitions run until 25th October 2023)
HONG KONG MUSEUM OF ART has launched two new Chinese
painting exhibitions, namely "A Match Made in Painting: Selected Works of
Xie Zhiliu and Chen Peiqiu from the Jingguanlou Collection" and
"Beyond Blessings: Birthday Greetings for the Master of Chih Lo Lou"
from 14th July 2023 until 25th October 2023 showcasing precious donations from
local collector Dr Wong Kwai-kuen and the master of Chih Lo Lou, Mr Ho Iu-kwong
respectively. Admission is free.
The late masters of the Shanghai School
of painting, Xie Zhiliu (1910-1997) and Chen Peiqiu (1923-2020), were a rare
example of an artist couple in the history of Chinese painting who matched each
other in artistic accomplishments. Renowned collector Dr Wong Kwai-kuen was
a close friend of the couple. Dr Wong donated his Jingguanlou collection
to the museum in 2021. Among the donations, the works of Xie Zhiliu and Chen
Peiqiu are among the highlights of the collection.
The museum has selected 99 masterpieces by the art couple for display at the
"A Match Made in Painting: Selected Works of Xie Zhiliu and Chen Peiqiu
from the Jingguanlou Collection" exhibition at the Jingguanlou Gallery on
the fourth floor of the museum. The gallery space is divided into
"He" and "She" sections, enabling audiences to parallelly
appreciate their evolution and achievements in art across different eras, and
demonstrate how eagerly this loving pair explored tradition as they
experimented with innovation, accompanying and supporting each other in their
artistic pursuits. The exhibition has also recreated the painters' table to
highlight their different creative processes through interactive multimedia.
In this exhibition, new media artists Keith Lam, Seth Hon and his team
Dimension Plus have adopted artificial intelligence technology to create a
multimedia and site-specific installation, "The Seasons Field", which
transcends time and space for the exhibition, depicting the seasonal cycle and
the diverse painting patterns of the two artists. The museum will hold two
sessions of gallery tours on 22nd July which will be guided by Xie Dingwei, son
of the artist couple.

A passionate collector, the late Ho Iu-kwong (1907-2006),
built the Chih Lo Lou collection of Chinese painting and calligraphy with the
aim of preserving the national essence and promoting Chinese art. He had always
been a close friend of many in Hong Kong's literati
circle and a generous sponsor of cultural activities. Taking Ho's 60th birthday
in 1966 as the theme, the museum has launched the "Beyond Blessings:
Birthday Greetings for the Master of Chih Lo Lou" exhibition at Chih Lo
Lou Gallery of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy on the fourth floor of the
museum, featuring 31 sets of works from the Chih Lo Lou Collection gifted by
Ho's notable friends such as Zhang Daqian, Huang Bore, Mei Yutian and He Shuhui
from the literati circle for his 60th birthday. Visitors can also appreciate
poems or writings solicited by his family from the contemporary literati, which
reflect the vibrancy of the Hong Kong literati scene
during the 1950s and 1960s.
Ho Iu-kwong was passionate about naamyam, a genre of song from Canton.
On his birthdays, he would invite naamyam musicians to perform at his
residence. The museum has engaged local music group The Gong Strikes One to
compose background music and naamyam music pieces to narrate Ho's life stories
for this exhibition. During the exhibition period, the group will perform live
performances to enrich the exhibition experience for audiences, continuing the
spirit of Ho's passion for cultural heritage.
Architect and artist Hikoko Ito has customised an art installation titled
"Happy Birthday Likeboxes" for the exhibition. The
installation is comprised of 366 illuminated mailboxes on display like
social media posts. The artist made use of the celebrating elements from the
exhibits as references to design unique decorative patterns for each of the
boxes, creating more than 30 different birthday cards. Audience members are
invited to add congratulatory texts and images, sending warm wishes and
thoughts to others through these handwritten birthday cards. The artist
encourages visitors to reflect on the impersonal nature of "copy-and-paste",
"one-click, and forward-to-all" messages that inundate social media
platforms on a daily basis, and at the same time, send sincere and warm
blessings by hand-made birthday cards.

Interactive installation in the "Elegance"
exhibition zone
The museum has also invited two Hong Kong artists Angela Yuen and Bovey Lee to
create new site-specific art installations with inspiration from the museum
collection. Angela Yuen used found objects and turned them into a kinetic art
installation "Land Ho!". The interplay of light and shadow creates a
dreamy landscape that expresses her feelings towards Hong Kong's
diverse culture. Cut paper artist Bovey Lee frequently travels between Hong
Kong and Los Angeles.
Her artwork "Bird Song‧Flower Scent" features a large
pond with ripples hand-cut by the artist, constructing a world of beauty that
blends reality and illusion with the technology of augmented reality, and
honouring and promoting Chinese traditional craftsmanship in a contemporary
sense. The artwork also reflects her nostalgia for her homeland in a foreign
land.
The exhibition is located at The Wing on the first floor and ground floor of
the museum at 10 Salisbury Road,
Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon with free
admission.

NICOLAUS COPERNICUS: LIFE AND WORK (until 25th September 2023)
This year is the 550th anniversary of the birth of the
renowned Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. HONG KONG SPACE MUSEUM is holding a special exhibition, "Nicolaus Copernicus: Life and Work"
from 21st June to 25th September 2023.
The exhibition, jointly presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services
Department and the Ministry of the Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland
and jointly organised by the Hong Kong Space Museum and the Consulate General
of the Republic of Poland in Hong Kong, enables visitors to look at the life
and achievements of Copernicus by introducing his life stories, his work across
disciplines, monuments and items in remembrance of him.
The "Nicolaus Copernicus: Life and Work" exhibition showcases Poland's
rich cultural and scientific heritage and is a testament to the power of
innovation and excellence in the realm of science. It would surely inspire
young people to pursue their passions for astronomy and space science. This
exhibition which introduces the life and work of Nicolaus Copernicus is not
just a celebration of science and astronomy, but also an excellent example of
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) education which,
as encouraged by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government,
involves the observation of nature, engagement in critical thinking, and
employment of creative approaches to real-world challenges rooted in
mathematics and science.

Medals commemorating Nicolaus Copernicus at different times
In addition to being an astronomer, Copernicus was also a physician, diplomat,
cartographer, lawyer and an economist. Geocentrism had been the mainstream idea
of ancient astronomy, showcasing the Earth as the centre of the universe and
all the stars, planets, the Sun and the Moon revolving around the Earth. Based
on scientific theory, Copernicus wrote a manuscript 510 years ago, shaking the
belief in the geocentric theory and overturning the public's conception on the universe.
In 1543, he published a detailed book, "De revolutionibus orbium
coelestium" (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres), on
"heliocentrism", which proposed the Sun as the centre of planetary
motions, sparking a revolution in astronomy.
The exhibition, with free admission, will be staged at the foyer of Hong
Kong Space Museum
located at 10 Salisbury Road,
Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon). For

MATERIAL TALES - THE LIFE OF THINGS (until 18th October 2023)
HONG KONG SCIENCE
MUSEUM has launched a new
exhibition, "Material Tales - The Life of Things", running from 19th
May until 18th October 2023.
In collaboration with the Design Museum,
London, the Hong
Kong Science Museum
brings its touring exhibition to Hong Kong for the first
time in a new light.
The exhibition is not only a first-time collaboration between the Design
Museum, London, and the Hong Kong Science Museum, but the objects displayed
also tell amazing and inspiring stories of how design and technology have been
shaping human civilisation. The exhibition showcases the research outcomes in
sustainable materials by local scientists and it is hoped that the exhibition
will inspire the younger generation to pursue their passion for science and
technology, nurture young talent, and benefit society at large.
The exhibition uses bamboo, which is a biodegradable and versatile material, as
its design concept. Divided into four zones, the exhibition starts from the
origins and characteristics of materials. Through everyday items such as
classic chairs and tableware, images, videos and artworks, this exhibition
showcases how humans have applied ingenious technology and design to transform various
materials to make life more comfortable and convenient while at the same time
endowed materials with boundless imagination. Visitors will be able to
appreciate the contribution of the earth's resources to the ascent of humans
and reflect on the disastrous consequences of the ravenous consumption of
natural resources through exploring the stories behind materials.
Apart from over 100 exhibits from the London Design Museum collection, the
exhibition also showcases locally developed innovative products, such as
"Lightweight Foamed Concrete" that is lighter in weight than normal
concrete used in the construction industry; the "Celluwarm Puffer
Jacket" made from spent corn husks and stalks; takeaway packaging that
uses "Biocide-Free Germ-Repellent Varnish for Paper Products", as
well as eco-friendly tableware made from plant-based waste and biodegradable
plastic. Visitors can also learn about the scientific properties and
applications of different materials through specially designed interactive exhibits.

BY THE PEOPLE: CREATIVE CHINESE CHARACTERS (until 26th November 2023)
The exhibition "By the People: Creative Chinese Characters", being presented under the "Hong Kong Art: Co-Creation" exhibition series and co-curated by the HONG KONG MUSEUM OF ART and renowned local designer Freeman Lau is being staged from 9th September 2022 until 26th November 2023. Adjunct Professor of the Department of Fine Arts of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Professor Chan Yuk-keung has served as the exhibition consultant. With the theme of Chinese characters, the exhibition features the many roles that Chinese characters play in everyday routines, commercial applications and artistic creation, and the contemporary art creativity presented in Asia through more than 100 sets of exhibits in various media from the collection of the museum, private collectors and institutions.
Chinese characters have been used for over 3,000 years. With their unique structures and shapes, the characters have served as an important conduit and genre for the literati and calligraphers to create their works throughout history. A vast array of applications for Chinese characters have been developed in different places, and all kinds of creative adaptations can be found in the works of craftspeople, artists, the literati and calligraphers. They can also be found in the everyday lives of ordinary people, through their games, religions, festivals and ceremonies. The exhibition presents the value of Chinese characters in the cultural lifestyle and contemporary creation through research on Chinese characters in different areas, providing visitors with multiple perspectives to explore the relationship between Chinese characters, calligraphy and art creativity.
The exhibition has won the support of many artists, collectors and institutions. The diverse exhibits include calligraphy, seal carving, printed matter, photography, video and multimedia installation created by artists from the Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea. Highlight exhibits include the Old Testament printed in 1865 (the fourth year of Tongzhi in the Qing dynasty), from the collection of Ying Wa College. This precious exhibit is one of the publications printed with Hong Kong Type, which is considered to be the most comprehensive set of Chinese movable type from the 19th century. Other exhibits include the manuscript of "Lee Hon Kong Kai" by Lee Hon, "Couplet in square word calligraphy" by Chinese contemporary artist Xu Bing, Chinese contemporary artist Wei Ligang's "Untitled", the digital motion graphics "In woods and mountains" by well-known Hong Kong designer Kan Tai-keung, and calligraphy works for Hong Kong movies by Fung Siu-wa (Wah Gor) and Lui Chiu-wing. The guest curator also invited four local artists, namely Professor Chan Yuk-keung, Hung Keung, Bryan Chung and Hanison Lau, to present their works in response to the theme of the exhibition.

Behind the spotlight, Lee loved his family and enjoyed reading. He expressed his emotions and ideas in letters and other types of writing. Through daily training and reflection, he went beyond his limits and became a legend. Following the "Bruce Lee: Kung Fu‧Art‧Life" exhibition which ran from 2013 to 2020, the museum has collaborated with the Bruce Lee Foundation again to present the exhibition "A Man Beyond the Ordinary: Bruce Lee", which features how Lee's perseverance gave birth to the legend that is Bruce Lee through his films, martial arts and life story.
Highlighted exhibits include a baby jacket worn by Lee; a fencing mask he used while studying in Hong Kong; his exam revision notes taken at the University of Washington; his letter to his wife Linda, written while filming "The Big Boss" in Thailand; the first edition of the first book published by him, "Chinese Gung Fu: The Philosophical Art of Self-Defense"; Jeet Kune Do plaques, and the original set design drawings for the film "Enter the Dragon". Various large-scale lighting exhibits and interactive installations have also been added to the exhibition, including an optical fibre interactive projection installation which displays Lee's martial arts ideas and life philosophy; and an immersive light and sensory installation "Self.Martial Arts.Emptiness", which illustrates Lee's self-actualisation concept.
