Collected and Curated

An introduction to Chinese art and material culture from the oldest continuously operating museum in Hong Kong. Collected and Curated highlights items from the expansive permanent collection of the University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG), The University of Hong Kong, featuring paintings and artifacts from across Chinese history. The museum serves as a significant venue for contemporary art exhibitions, and excels at collecting, documenting, and teaching about local and regional artists and art forms, while fostering ongoing and new relationships. UMAG's mission is to provide artistic and cultural experiences that are accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds, fostering a greater appreciation for the arts and nurturing a strong sense of cultural values and belonging within our diverse community. In so doing, the museum preserves and teaches both the past and present, serving as a platform for ongoing discussions about the meaning of art and its significant role in contemporary society.
