[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for The University of Hong Kong - University Museum and Art Gallery (Updated May)

✨ To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Picasso's death, the Hong Kong University Art Gallery held the "Pablo Picasso: Glass Portraits" exhibition, displaying Picasso's glass works created between 1954 and 1957. ✨ This is a little-known artistic creation of Picasso, showing his exploration of artistic mediums in his later years, similar to the paper cutouts of Matisse's later years. There are few documents and books mentioning these glass portraits, and exhibitions of the same type are also rare. There are no more than 50 Picasso glass paintings in existence. This exhibition brings together 19 of them, all from private collections. It is the first large-scale exhibition in 20 years since the four exhibitions in Japan in 1998. ✨ The exhibits cover Picasso's creative styles in different periods, and most of them have original oil paintings, which must be the author's favorite works. Through the luminous light box, Picasso used glass pieces as brushstrokes, stacking them layer by layer to form exquisite glass paintings (gemmaux). Compared with ordinary paintings, such creations are more three-dimensional, and it seems that one can see the author's brushstroke process and his interpretation of the world's characters through colored glass fragments of different sizes. ✨ The first floor of the exhibition hall displays Picasso's self-portraits and the women around him. The curator tried to use Picasso's rich emotional undertones to express the author's artistic life. The second floor displays a group of still life sketches, which show the progress of Picasso's artistic creation from classical to modern. I cannot describe the feeling of seeing these works in person. Whether it is the macroscopic women, pigeons, flowers and fruits, or the microscopic fragments, particles, and bubbles, they all present an ever-changing state. No matter how good the camera is, it cannot record what the eyes see. Only by being there in person can you feel it. 📍Address: Hong Kong University Art Museum, 90 Bonham Road, Mid-Levels, Central and Western District, Hong Kong 📌Exhibition hall: 1/F and 2/F, Fung Ping Shan Building 💵Cost: Free #Sign up for a hotel tester #Weekend trip #Hong Kong good places #Hong Kong check-in #Art

#Sign up for hotel test sleeper I recently visited the Hong Kong University Art Museum and found out that there is a new exhibition on display, which displays many glass light and shadow installation art paintings 🎨 jointly created by art master Picasso and light and shadow technology experts! What is rare is that this exhibition selects less familiar glass paintings by Picasso. I heard that they are from a private collection. The works have different themes, such as the portrait "Women of Algiers", the light and shadow installation of the bullfighting scene "Bullfight", etc., which made me dazzled! Hong Kong University Art Gallery and Museum - "Pablo Picasso: Portrait on Glass" Exhibition Address: 1/F & 2/F, Fung Ping Shan Building, 90 Bonham Road, Pokfulam, Hong Kong Cost: Free admission

Stepping into this exhibition hall, I thought it was a painting exhibition with pen for scanning. He often paints with family, friends, self-portrait landscapes, gifts and a series of plants to enhance the capture of his life. These techniques and themes are Noda's long artistic achievements. There are also display boards and video recordings of the exhibits my creative inspiration and mental journey. Location: Museum of Fine Arts, University of Hong Kong #LocalTour #Exhibition2022 #HongKongGood Places

📍Exit C1 of University of Hong Kong MTR Station - University of Hong Kong Museum of Fine Arts Today I visited. Special exhibition "Porcelain" by the University of Hong Kong Museum of Fine Arts It mainly explains that about the seventeenth century, the Portuguese took the lead in successfully mastering the navigation technology from Europe to China. It opened up a continuous and constant exchange of commodities and knowledge between nations, during which unfortunately many merchant ships lost their way at sea, especially in Southeast Asia. Ceramics are both the ballast of merchant ships and waterproof, so many ceramics are still intact after hundreds of years of experience. The exhibition board also introduces the manufacturing method and process of ceramics, so that we know why ceramics are preserved so well through hundreds of years of history 👍 #LocalTravel #Exhibition2022

Nestled within the campus of the University of Hong Kong on Pok Fu Lam Road, the University Museum and Art Gallery is one of the earliest university museums in Hong Kong, dedicated to promoting the study of Chinese art and artifacts. Its collection includes Han and Tang dynasty pottery figurines, Ming and Qing dynasty paintings and calligraphy, Buddhist sculptures, and bronze wares, exuding an ancient and serene atmosphere. It serves as a spiritual oasis for enthusiasts of Eastern art. Admission is free, and exhibitions are frequently updated, making it an ideal destination for those seeking to delve into the essence and evolution of traditional art. The museum often hosts small thematic exhibitions and academic lectures. Currently, it is showcasing "Song Dynasty Flora and Fauna: The Detailed World of Ancient Paintings," which uses exquisite literati paintings to guide visitors into a poetic artistic realm. Although the exhibition space is not large, its elegant layout and tranquil ambiance provide a sense of serenity. After visiting, one can take a leisurely stroll around the campus to experience the cultural and intellectual atmosphere of this century-old institution.

#HongKongIn-Depth Tour Not to mention, Hong Kong has such a gorgeous ancient building, but also the university boys' dormitory. This University Hall, also known as the University Hall, retains the appearance of the ancient castle, it is really rare ~ Luckily, we took a tour and entered the castle to find out! This red-topped and white-walled castle blends Tudor, Gothic and Neo-Renaissance architectural styles and is nearly 160 years old, so many monastic styles have been preserved! There are "three treasures" in the university hall: the two "four different" buildings at the door, do not touch them, I heard that touching will bring bad luck (of course there are ways to solve the bad luck🤫); the copper ladder that runs through the three floors, all shipped from Paris, is as beautiful as a work of art; This Hong Kong niche attraction is full of the beauty of classical architecture and so many stories. Friends who like retro aesthetics and historical monuments must come and take pictures!

Step into a dazzling visual experience at the Hong Kong Museum of Art with the “Shopping in Canton” LED show. The vibrant colors, dynamic lights, and intricate designs immerse you in a captivating tale of Cantonese culture and history. As the city’s traditions blend with modern technology, the show brings the bustling streets of Canton to life. A must-see moment for those exploring the heart of Hong Kong! #discoverchina

I had one day layover in Hong Kong and OMG I am in love with this city! I bought train tickets in airport from airport to city center and back it was 16 US$ There the museum in Hong Kong University definitely must visit! You can walk by embankment especially recommend in the morning very beautiful sunrise 🌅 Definitely must visit!

The Hong Kong University Art Museum was formerly the Hong Kong University Fung Ping Shan Library, so the original name is still retained at the entrance. As the oldest existing museum in Hong Kong, it houses many Chinese cultural relics and artworks. Although it occupies two floors, it is not very large. In addition, there are different calligraphy and painting exhibitions regularly with rich content. Some old rosewood furniture is placed in the exhibition hall for citizens to rest. It is also a kind of enjoyment to appreciate the exhibits, which is different from other museums. Address－90 Bonham Road, Pokfulam, Hong Kong Environment/Facilities - Various art exhibitions from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign, are often held Features: Many rare exhibits Price per person – Free admission Rating - 90 points (out of 100) #HKU #Museum #FreeAdmission #GreatPlacetoCheckIn

In addition to taking photos at general attractions in Hong Kong, you can't miss the University of Hong Kong. The University of Hong Kong has its own subway station. Get off at the University of Hong Kong station. The best order is to visit the teaching building near the red wall first, and then take photos at the Centennial Garden to feel the cultural atmosphere. After that, you can walk to the main building for a visit. When you arrive at the main building, you can see the British architectural style full of colonial colors. As the first university in Hong Kong, since it was opened by the British, all buildings are designed with granite. The entrances and exits are all round arches. Occasionally, you can see our Chinese spring couplets on the doors of the classrooms, and feel the charm of the combination of Chinese and Western cultures. So in addition to the common red wall being a popular check-in spot, the photos taken at the main building are actually more beautiful. It is strongly recommended to take photos at dusk (around 1830) to avoid the crowds and no appointment is required. Friends who come to the University of Hong Kong should remember to share it with friends who are preparing to visit.

So good so tasty so yummy so good so nice good food good trip happy me happy us

#FreeHongKongAirlines An art museum inside the University of Hong Kong. It has a long history, and the oval hall is beautiful. Admission is free, but there are a lot of exhibits, both temporary and permanent. The Picasso glass exhibit was a huge success. There are also cafeterias and a co-op inside the University of Hong Kong. There used to be a Chinese tea cafe (Jue Zhan Tang Lou?) attached to the museum, but I haven't been able to find it in 23 years. If anyone knows of one, please let me know. It's an area I'd like to explore if I stay in Hong Kong again!

Recently, I discovered a hidden specialty Western restaurant near the University of Hong Kong Station. The restaurant has a very special name called "Vie Won Won"! The restaurant is two stories high, and the ceiling is very high, which gives people a very relaxing feeling of space There are many artistic decorations in the interior, and the owner's thoughts can be seen everywhere👍 ‣ 金枪鱼和牛鞑靼 ($178) This hehe is very different from regular tuna/beef heta, mixed with wagyu beef and tuna. It tastes soft and has a very fragrant greasy taste, with the avocado at the bottom🥑 Both the mouthfeel and taste are very rich, worth recommending 😍 ‣ 蟹肉烩饭（$198） This risotto looks exquisite. The crab meat is very fresh and has a lot of portion. You can eat crab meat in every bite☺️ There are still many crystal clear crabs on the surface Risotto smells very fragrant, tastes quite smoky, and tastes just right😋 ‣ 蜡烛灯（$94） This cocktail is refreshing to drink. Includes mango juice, lemon juice, pomegranate, Vodka, Rum The taste is sweet, the wine taste is not very heavy, quite easy to enter 😊 ‣ 我们的糕点师特价 ($68) Today's cake is chocolate cake, overall quite surprising😍 The chocolate taste is very rich, it has the smooth texture of cheesecake🥰 The sweetness is also just right, don't miss it if you like chocolate! 💭 C͟o͟n͟c͟l͟u͟s͟i͟o͟n͟ Whether the restaurant environment, food quality, or service attitude is good.

#timetotravel When we decided to have our pre wedding phots taken in Hongkong, our photographer took us here and he said The University of Honkong is famous amongst photography lovers as it has got a uniqie old architecture especially the stairs section of the university. After we're done shooting, we also ate at the ccafiteria which is also open for tourists or whoever is visiting the university. Enjoy your shoot!

Transportation Tips - Take the Hong Kong Island Line to the Hong Kong University Station, and walk about ten minutes from Exit C2. The library is located on the campus of the University of Hong Kong. The local attraction - Fung Ping Shan Library itself is a statutory Grade I historic monument. The entire museum is an English-style building with multiple exhibition halls, which display historical artworks and archaeological relics from the Neolithic Age to the Qing Dynasty in different categories. They are of great value and were all donated by private collectors. It has a more vintage feel than the exhibits in the Palace Museum. In addition, there is a glass portrait of Pablo Picasso on display this time, which is the first time it is exhibited in Hong Kong. It is full of a strong sense of art and is a must-see for those who love abstract paintings. #HongKongGoodFamilyDestination #WeekendTour #HongKongGoodDestination

today is everyone’s birthday, a great steak to kick start.

Another delicious recommendation in Sai Ying Pun 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻The food is fresh and excellent 😋😋The special recommendation here is pork chop ~ basically every customer eats it😍

In addition to a few temporary exhibitions, the museum also has a collection of ceramics from different periods for people to view. ⛰ Neolithic Painted pottery is a representative of the material culture of the Neolithic Age, and the lines outlined on its surface served as the foundation for later ink and calligraphy. Han Dynasty Han Dynasty ceramics often exude the atmosphere of metalwork prototypes, and add iron and copper elements to present different tones, generally used as funerary objects. Blue and white porcelain The emergence of blue and white porcelain was the result of the introduction of cobalt, a natural chemical raw material, by the prosperity of the Silk Road. It later became the first truly global commodity, dominating the export of ceramics in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

This time we visited the boys' dormitory - University Hall of the University of Hong Kong Built in the 19th century, the building was formerly Fort Douglas, then renamed the Nazareth Building. It has been used for a variety of different purposes and has been through war. The architecture is beautiful like going abroad, very suitable for taking pictures, but this is a student dormitory, so remember to keep quiet and polite, do not disturb people 😙👍🏻 #11 Consumption Voucher #Local Tour #Hong Kong Good Places

The Hong Kong University Art and Museum was originally known as the Fung Ping Shan Museum and was founded in 1953. Its current site was formerly the Hong Kong University Fung Ping Shan Library, which was officially established in 1932 and was named after its donor. The first time I came here was in June, but the museum was temporarily closed and I couldn't visit. I visited again successfully yesterday and saw four exhibitions in one go. The museum's exhibition halls are located in the Fung Ping Shan Building and the Tsui Chin Tong Building, connected by an indoor sky bridge. Feng Pingshan Building is three stories high, with red brick exterior walls and a symmetrical butterfly shape in plan. The fan-shaped atrium was once an open library space, with side halls on both sides, which now serve as permanent exhibition halls. The butterfly-shaped design of the building's floor plan, also known as the double-lighting design, was a popular architectural feature in the 19th century. Natural light shines through the roof, and viewing the exhibition in clear weather feels like being in an indoor garden, which is very comfortable. #HKU

This "Time Roam" exhibition mainly displays all the photos of photographer Qin Wei, who have been treasured for 30 years. Because the photos were taken in the 1990s, some of the negatives have been damaged and the original images can no longer be recognized. In this exhibition, the front section shows the restored photos, while the back section records the damaged images, symbolizing the passage of time, so to cherish 😌 And the photos due to environmental or human factors, over the years, not properly preserved. After seeing this exhibition, I can fully realize that photography can be a kind of thinking, but also a kind of sensing of life and existence😊! 📍Exit A1 of University of Hong Kong MTR Station - University of Hong Kong Museum of Fine Arts #LocalTour #Exhibition2022 #HongKongGood Places

Centered on vignettes of his daily life, Tetsuya Noda's prints primarily employ innovative woodblock printing, mimeograph and silkscreen techniques. This rich series of works is closely tied to the transformations of his life over the past half century, weaving together a deeply revealing and moving visual autobiography! You can capture his life and artistic career while visiting the exhibits😊 Venue: Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong #LocalTourism#2022Exhibition

The Hong Kong University Art Gallery and Museum's special exhibition "Colored Porcelain" showcases the many different types of ceramics produced in China over the centuries. To Ming During the Qing and Qing dynasties, colorful porcelain with blue underglaze to outline the lines and red, green and yellow to embellish the patterns became the most widely produced colored porcelain. These polychromes were popular with Europeans, either over glaze or occasionally on ceramics already equipped with underglaze decoration. We can understand the development and status of ceramic trade in various parts of Asia through the words and exhibits on the display boards😊 Address: 90 Bonham Road, Pokfulam, Hong Kong (Art Gallery and Museum, University of Hong Kong) #LocalTourism#2022Exhibition

"Persian Blue" blue and white porcelain is hailed as the world's first truly globalized commercial It dominated the export porcelain trade in the Ming and Qing dynasties, when more than millions of pieces of ceramics were exported to all parts of the world through major ports such as Guangzhou and Quanzhou. The exhibition mainly displays ceramics from different dynasties, each made of different types of minerals and glazing techniques, with rich and varied glaze colors. The cobalt blue imported from other places contains rich iron, making the glaze a mottled dark blue. In the Ming Dynasty, due to the interruption of the supply of imported cobalt blue, potters turned to using minerals mined locally, and the porcelain fired was a more elegant light blue, so you will find two different blues appearing in the exhibits😊 How to get there: MTR Hong Kong University Station Exit A1, 10 minutes walk (Art Gallery and Museum, University of Hong Kong) #LocalTourism#2022Exhibition

Today is a day off so I went to the Hong Kong University Art Museum and visited the very attractive ceramic exhibition for free. In addition to ceramic exhibits from the Han, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, there are also painted pottery from as far back as 10,000 BC to the Neolithic Age 8,000 years later, which are of great historical value. Among them, the cocoon-shaped jars, the traditional components of Chinese architecture, the four-handled jars and the painted pottery from the Stone Age are of great appreciation value. These collections were not only daily necessities at the time, but also supplies for funeral ceremonies! Address: 90 Bonham Road, Pokfulam, Hong Kong (Hong Kong University Art Museum) #LocalTourism#2022Exhibition

📍 MTR Hong Kong University Station (Exit A1)-Hong Kong University Art Museum Today we introduce "Hammering and Casting" at the University of Hong Kong Art Museum as one of the "Art Creation Startup" exhibitions. This project aims to explore artistic creation from the perspective of science and technology, and analyze how materials and techniques have created various artistic treasures in Chinese cultural history. The exhibition displays early Chinese bronze and silver treasures through the collection. Bronze castings are the most prestigious daily utensils and ritual vessels in Asian material culture. In addition to being used as ritual vessels, bronze vessels are also used for cooking or storage. The display board also explains the exquisite and excellent shapes and historical culture of ancient and modern utensils👍 #LocalTourism#2022Exhibition
