The Hong Kong Museum of Art is a civic museum in Tsim Sha Tsui that collects, preserves and displays visual art related to Hong Kong and the region, including Chinese paintings, calligraphy and modern works. The institution occupies a purpose-built building on Salisbury Road beside the harbourfront and the Cultural Centre.

Its holdings cover historical and contemporary works and the museum stages temporary exhibitions alongside its permanent displays. The building underwent an expansion and refurbishment that extended exhibition space and public facilities in recent years.

The museum functions as a major art venue for the city and is commonly visited in combination with nearby cultural attractions along the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade. It is directly accessible from Tsim Sha Tsui public transport nodes and the waterfront promenade.

• Location and views: The museum’s waterfront location on Salisbury Road places it beside the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and near Victoria Harbour, making the outer terraces good viewpoints across the harbour.

The Hong Kong Museum of Art is on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront adjacent to the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Reach it by MTR to Tsim Sha Tsui (Tsuen Wan Line) or East Tsim Sha Tsui (Tuen Ma Line) and walk a few minutes across Salisbury Road from the stations or from the nearby Star Ferry pier.

• Aim for a weekday morning or early afternoon to combine quieter galleries with views of Victoria Harbour from the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade outside the museum.
• Enter from Salisbury Road on the waterfront side (near the Hong Kong Cultural Centre) to save walking time from the promenade and to link easily with the nearby promenade and ferry terminals.
• Don't rush past the temporary and rotating exhibitions-these often hold the most recent acquisitions and contemporary displays that visitors frequently miss when focusing only on the permanent collection.
