Muse Fest HK 2019
The upcoming Muse Fest HK, with “Curating the New” as the theme, would bring you on a journey with the museums to explore how they experience and display transformation. You may be inspired by the story of how a museum could grow younger over time or how a museum is working on redefining itself to face the challenges of the new era. You may also go with the museum in a new look to navigate the world of art or come join a creative programme which is produced with inspiration from you.
This year, Muse Fest HK will be held from 22 June to 7 July 2019. As one of the supporting partners, Jao Tsung-I Academy brings you a variety of interesting activities.
