M+, Asia’s first global museum of contemporary visual culture, is set to open on 12 November 2021. The opening exhibitions includes six thematic exhibitions which feature visual artworks, moving image works, design objects, architectural projects and archival items. The exhibitions are:

Hong Kong: Here and Beyond — the exhibition is divided into four chapters to capture the city’s transformation and unique visual culture from the 1960s to the present;

M+ Sigg Collection: From Revolution to Globalisation — a chronological survey of the development of contemporary Chinese art from the 1970s through the 2000s drawn from the M+ Sigg Collection;

Things, Spaces, Interactions — a thematic and chronological exploration of international design and architecture over the last 70 years and their relevance to our lives today;

Individuals, Networks, Expressions — a narrative of post-war international visual art told from the perspective of Asia;

Antony Gormley: Asian Field — an expansive installation of tens of thousands of clay figurines created by British sculptor Antony Gormley together with over 300 villagers from a Guangdong village in five days in 2003; and

The Dream of the Museum — a global constellation of conceptual art practices at the heart of M+’s unique Asian context.
