HONG KONG MUSEUM OF ART
Tsim Sha Tsui

The Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMoA) / 香港藝術館 is the first and main art museum of Hong Kong, located in Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. It is a public museum managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Hong Kong Government. It has an art collection of over 17,000 items. Admission is free for permanent exhibitions. The museum was established as the City Museum and Art Gallery in the City Hall in Central by the Urban Council on 2 March 1962. This was split into the Hong Kong Museum of History and the Hong Kong Museum of Art in July 1975. The Museum of History moved to Kowloon Park in 1983. Before leaving City Hall in 1991, the art museum occupied the 8th (rear portion), 9th, 10th, and 11th storeys of the High Block. These floors now house a public library. In 1991, it was moved to the present premises at 10 Salisbury Road, near the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and the Hong Kong Space Museum, in Tsim Sha Tsui. The museum was closed on 3 August 2015 for a renovation. It reopened on 30 November 2019
