Programme-at-a-glance

Inaugurated in 2013, Oi! is an art space located in the North Point community. It includes a red-bricked Grade II historic building complex opened in 1908. Oi! sets out to make art relevant to the community and to build a sustainable future through collective creativity and collaboration. Offering projects in a variety of genres – from design to architecture and from contemporary art to new creative media, Oi! is a unique art space that provides platforms for distinctive art displays where a diversity of people can connect and where knowledge and experience from various disciplines can be shared and consolidated. In 2025, Oi! is featuring local artists Phoebe Hui, Adrian Wong and Japanese artist Toyofuku Ryo in the Oi! Spotlight exhibitions. By showcasing the latest works from both local and international artists, this series stimulates cross-cultural dialogue and invites the audience to appreciate the innovative power of contemporary artists.

Located at the cultural hub in Tsim Sha Tsui, HKMoA houses the art pieces and artefacts in four main collections: Modern and Hong Kong Art, Chinese Antiquities, Chinese Painting and Calligraphy, and China Trade Art. With a wide range of exhibits from Neolithic to contemporary art and from Hong Kong to around the world, HKMoA curates exhibitions of a rich world of contrasts with a Hong Kong viewpoint and aspires to refreshing ways of looking at tradition and making art relevant to everyone. HKMoA is currently presenting a special exhibition namely “The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Cézanne and Renoir Looking at the World — Masterpieces from the Musée de l’Orangerie and the Musée d’Orsay”, featuring 52 masterpieces of two French Impressionist giants, Paul Cézanne (1839 – 1906) and Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841 – 1919) from the Musée de l’Orangerie and the Musée d’Orsay in France. This is the first large-scale exhibition dedicated to these two masters in Hong Kong, marking the first stop of this Asia tour.
