2023-01-04

Opening to the public less than half a year, it welcomed more than 600000 visitors. The Hong Kong Palace Museum of Culture, known as the latest cultural and artistic landmark of Hong Kong, added a touch of light to the cultural landscape of Hong Kong in 2022 with this data. The Hong Kong Palace Museum of Culture, located in the West Kowloon Cultural District, although the main color of the gate of the Palace Museum is vermilion and the door studs are decorated, it is like a square tripod with a "modern" appearance, which is completely different from the traditional architectural style of the Palace Museum. Wu Zhihua, the curator of the Hong Kong Palace Museum of Culture, said in an interview with the media that he was pursuing a "different Forbidden City", and the Hong Kong Palace Museum of Culture represented not only the new cultural landmark of Hong Kong, but also part of the cultural facilities of the entire Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. As the bridgehead for Hong Kong to build a cultural and artistic exchange center between China and foreign countries, the West Kowloon Cultural District is the most important art and cultural infrastructure of the Hong Kong SAR government after Hong Kong's return. After the completion of the Opera Center and the M+Museum, the Hong Kong Palace Museum of Culture, which has been prepared and constructed for several years, came into being. The opening exhibition launched in July 2022 was amazing: of the 914 pieces of the Palace Museum collection that appeared in the exhibition, about seven became the first to be exhibited in Hong Kong, which is the largest and highest level cultural relics exhibition in the Palace Museum since its establishment in 1925, It has endowed Hong Kong with profound connotation as a new cultural infrastructure. The National "Fourteenth Five Year Plan" clearly proposes to support Hong Kong in building a Sino foreign cultural and artistic exchange center, adding endogenous impetus to Hong Kong's cultural development. The completion and opening of the Hong Kong Palace Museum of Culture is an important milestone in Hong Kong's implementation of the "Fourteenth Five Year Plan". Just two months after the opening of the Hong Kong Palace Museum of Culture, the summit forum of "Hong Kong's New Coordinates: Sino foreign Cultural and Artistic Exchange Center" was held in Hong Kong. Li Jiachao pointed out in his speech at the forum that the SAR government is following four major directions to promote Hong Kong to become a "cultural city", including gradually establishing world-class cultural facilities and multi-cultural spaces to provide soil for artists, art troupes and practitioners, Jointly gestate cultural and artistic creation; Strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the mainland and overseas art and cultural institutions, and further establish Hong Kong's position in the international art world; We will grasp the international trend and allocate more resources to encourage the cultural and creative industries to embrace digital technology; Expand Hong Kong's cultural and artistic talent pool. In the opinion of Ma Fengguo, a deputy to the Hong Kong National People's Congress and a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, Hong Kong has a free, open and active cultural atmosphere and is qualified to develop a Sino foreign cultural and artistic exchange center; There are more than 5000 art groups in Hong Kong, which are conducive to cultural and artistic exchanges between China and foreign countries; At the same time, with the completion of cultural facilities such as the Hong Kong Palace Museum of Culture, hardware facilities such as Hong Kong cultural sites will be gradually improved, and Hong Kong's cultural soft power will also be gradually enhanced. The newly established Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau (hereinafter referred to as the "Culture and Tourism Bureau") of the Hong Kong SAR Government is an important deployment made by the SAR Government to enhance its cultural soft power. After its establishment, the Bureau of Culture and Tourism will hold the Asian Cultural Cooperation Forum 2022, which will invite cultural ministers and senior officials from South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Singapore and other countries to participate in promoting cultural cooperation in Asia. This is also related to the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong SAR
