"Art by the Harbor Art lovers must stop by the Hong Kong Museum of Art, situated near the Tsim Sha Tsui harbour promenade. The main collections here include paintings, calligraphy work, and sculptures from Hong Kong and Mainland Chinese artists. Rare Chinese antiques are also featured here. The Museum is also Hong Kong's best source for international touring exhibitions, and has successfully put on acclaimed shows such as the recent Andy Warhol: 15 Minutes Eternal exhibition, which showcased the legendary pop artist's best works."

There are many things to see. Beautiful and clean. You have a place to leave you baggage and everything is free. There are also many interactive sessions so you won’t get bored. If you want to take a time and just enjoy the view they have seats in each floor. The seats itself are a work of art. This place is a must.

A lovely place. They had many exhibitions going on different floors. It took me almost a good 2 hour in the museum. There are many seats for you you sit and look through the harbour view at each floor and also catch a breather before moving onto the different floors. Some exhibitions you will have to pay but on the day I visited almost all were free. Highly recommended.

I was so lucky to be there for Cézanne and Renoir exhibition and they even brought Picasso painting inspired by the two painters. Not only the painting but also the story telling of the two painters. The museum is immaculate with extensive collections depicting history of the city itself. In addition, there are also modern art collections equipped with high-tech robotics and lighting. The location is by the harbor so you can see breathtaking view of busy Victoria Harbour and the coast line landscape. You’ll easily spend two hours there! You’ll get a safe locker room for your belongings and I think the admission fee is reasonable for such event. I bought the ticket on the spot, very convenient. Best part, after visiting the museum, have a coffee or beer at the harbour.

Amazing museum with multiple exhibitions. We really enjoyed a long morning at the museum - and did not manage to see all that it had to offer. We really liked the wide span of the exhibition - from traditional pigments to robot installations and creative photography. Looking forward to returning next time we are in Hong Kong.

Fantastic museum with innovative exhibits. One had a quiz on personality which correlated with an area of the exhibit. Additionally smell was incorporated with a sticker book with stickers that were scented. Candles also available for sale per personality. I am a suckered for interactive exhibits! So many excellent exhibits. I would highly recommend.

Went there with my Hong Kongnese friend, was greeted with smiles from door step. At the desk, the lady patiently explained to us that the price of 1 ticket for a Renoir exhibition is the same as annual price. We both got ourselves annual pass which can enter not just this museum but plenty of other museums close by. It’s a truly amazing experience on Renoir. Other exhibitions were bonus for us. This is my first time ever to visit. I will definitely come back!

A beautifully curated museum with a great mix of traditional Chinese art, contemporary works, and special exhibitions. The space is modern, clean, and right by the harbor — the sea view from the windows is a bonus! The exhibits are well-organized and thoughtfully presented, with both local and international pieces. It’s a peaceful place to spend a few hours. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that some sections felt a bit limited or under rotation. Still, definitely worth a visit if you’re in Tsim Sha Tsui and enjoy art.

Whenever you're in Hong Kong, regardless of if you're a tourist, an expat, or a resident, you should not miss out on the Hong Kong Museum of Art. Rarely in this world have I been able to access an art museum so extensive and well-funded. And by well-funded, I mean that it's free entry to anyone, meaning you can see most of the art here for free, aside from the occasional premium show. As a visitor to Hong Kong, I was blown away but the rich art traditions displayed that are representative of Hong King's unique historical and cultural position. One exhibition emphasized the unique blend of eastern and western artistic influences as a direct result of British colonization. The wealth of antique Chinese art at this museum is nothing short of impressive. I remember the first time I stepped foot inside this museum. It was a moment where I recognized how amazing it was for me to be in Hong Kong at the time. I have made it a point to bring my friends here to enjoy the museum on multiple occasions. It's also a great place to go on a date for free, if you're into that.

It was very nice to be able to stop into this museum which is in a prime position and centrally located on the waterfront affording the most beautiful views over Hong Kong. The museum is beautifully designed and is an architectural masterpiece in itself. Having said that, I was not particularly impressed with the exhibits- they were quite limited and a number of the rooms were empty .... Maybe it's still so new that they're sticking it? Anyway, well worth taking a look in given that it's free.

The art museum has been reopen recently due to their renovation. It is located in TST Promenade! They got really pretty views and most importantly it is FREE! 3 stars only because it is really empty so far - only have 4 exhibits open. Really little to see. Note: you need to either download the app or fill out the form during covid times.

One of the attractions at Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade is the Hong Kong Museum of Art. This is the main art museum in Hong Kong and is publicly run. If you are thinking about whether or not to visit this museum while you are at the Promenade, I would say yes. The admission fee is nominal. A meager HK$10 and it is free (excluding special exhibitions) to enter on Wednesdays. The museum is four stories. But when I visited, there were numerous signs saying an exhibition area was closed. I was only able to see exhibits on the second and third floors. The exhibition offerings here are similar to other Chinese art museums that I have visited. Expect to find items like calligraphy, ceramics, Chinese antiques and wall scroll paintings. There was also a contemporary section devoted to a Chinese sculptor's work. As you head up each floor, you will find on the south end of the building a great view of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island. If you are not interested in the museum offerings, the museum still offers a nice place to sit and take in the view outside. I thought the museum was just okay. If you have been to a Chinese art museum before, this one will seem like retread. The Shanghai Museum is much more comprehensive. Still if you are on the Promenade, it is worth a visit. The admission is next to nothing and it is not a bad place to spend a hour or two in an air conditioned building rather than suffering outside in the heat.

I will give this building a 4 for architecture and layout, 3 for variety of exhibits. Easy to get around and has good lighting. Saw one exhibit there and was impressed. Not a huge variety of exhibits (when we were there).

1 star would have been a bit harsh. I'll give it a 2 stars, but also tell quite frankly that you that you missed nothing during this 3-year renovation period. There's a lack of diversity, that's for sure. About 90% of the art pieces were from Hong Kong / Chinese artists. I know it's difficult to acquire some paintings by Monet or a sculpture by Degas, but there are an everlasting list of upcoming artists all over the world and a museum shouldn't limit its acquisition within two regions with arts of (relatively speaking) less importance and impact. *IF* that's intentional to limit the collections within the regions, then this museum is very unappealing to visitors, to say the least. And naturally follows, there's a lack of theme. Was it a MoMA? Not really. Contemporary art? Might be. Visual / multi media art? Well there were a couple of TVs surely. But it certainly looked more like a random collection of arts came in handy. And the worst? The lack of space. Probably one of of the tiniest art museum I have ever visited. If you were looking for somewhat larger art installments, you would be very disappointed. They had a few special exhibitions every now and then, and some of them used to be very good. Notably Impressionism exhibition in 2005, "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" (清明上河圖) exhibition in 2007, Louis Vuitton exhibition in 2009, etc. But these successful special exhibitions only made the regular exhibition even more dull. Let's hope it comes back strong in 2019.

It might have just been bad timing, but there was very little to see in this museum so it was a disappointing visit, especially after going to see the terrific Museum of History (http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF%E6%AD%B7%E5%8F%B2%E5%8D%9A%E7%89%A9%E9%A4%A8-%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF-2). It seemed that a couple of the galleries were closed, so apart from one exhibition of wooden sculptures, there were only traditional calligraphy, ceramic and jade pieces on display in cabinets. Though certainly precious and a valuable contribution to HK's art history, I was seriously underwhelmed and was in and out of here in less than half an hour. I guess I was expecting to see lots of contemporary art, akin to Tate Modern in London, especially as HK is such a dynamic city full of expression (a day or so later a few of us walked through the pro-democracy camps and saw lots of innovative 'protest art' - I really hope that this is captured in a future retrospective). The museum obviously changes its displays regularly, so I would still say to pay a visit, but perhaps try and find out what's being shown before you make a special trip. Tip: you can easily walk here from the East Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station.

Nice experience. 10$/per. Though a lot of it is about the development history of Hong Kong. Still a nice place to go, wether you're a Chinese or not. Beauty and poor pictures, even Chinese poems. Maybe Deyoung museum is better. Here is worth to have a look.

Admission was only HK$10 (which is around $1.30 U.S. dollar). That's the only good thing because visiting there turns out to be time not well-spent during my recent trip to Hong Kong. The exhibits were boring, and if you're going there expecting to see fine art in the form of western paintings then forgot it. There was not a single one to be found when I was there 1-1/2 weeks ago. About the only other redeeming thing here other than the low admission is that you can get a nice view looking towards Hong Kong Island from the windows inside (and on the third floor you can do it sitting in nice couches with back support).
