Hong Kong Art and Museums

Gallery streets at Tai Kwun and PMQ, M+ and the Hong Kong Palace Museum in West Kowloon, then the Hong Kong Heritage Museum in Sha Tin

Based in Central and Sheung Wan: on day one, see contemporary exhibitions and antique shops at Tai Kwun, PMQ and Hollywood Road, and ride the Central–Mid-Levels Escalator. Day two is set aside for M+ and the Hong Kong Palace Museum in West Kowloon, and in the evening you can visit the Hong Kong Museum of Art in Tsim Sha Tsui for the harbour view. On day three, visit the Hong Kong Heritage Museum and Man Fat Sze in Sha Tin before heading to the airport. Ideal for art lovers; March, with Art Basel and Art Month, is the liveliest time.

Art Basel and Art Month take place in March, so book accommodation early.
