About this place
Opened in July 2022 along the waterfront of the West Kowloon Cultural District, the Hong Kong Palace Museum is a world-class institution showcasing nearly 5,000 years of Chinese art and culture. It houses over 900 priceless treasures on loan from the Palace Museum in Beijing alongside exceptional international relics. Families flock to the museum to experience its interactive digital exhibits, participate in hands-on family workshops, and enjoy a relaxed, scenic atmosphere right by Victoria Harbour.
