The museum offers several ways into the city’s art: ink and calligraphy, works associated with Cantonese trade, and art made in Hong Kong. Its origins lie in the City Hall Museum and Art Gallery, established in 1962; the art museum moved to Salisbury Road in 1991. Pick the strands that interest you most.
