About M+
The museum building has an inverted-T profile, with a broad gallery volume and a taller facade that can operate as a large screen facing Victoria Harbour. The structure itself is therefore part of the visual experience.
Choose a collection theme rather than expecting a conventional painting-only museum. Architectural models, design objects, photography and moving-image works show how different media shape modern life. Displays rotate, so use the current gallery guide to select a route and leave time to look at the harbour-facing building from outside.
What to look for
- The inverted-T building and large media facade form a distinct harbour landmark.
- Design and architecture objects broaden the collection beyond traditional fine art.
- Moving-image displays add screen-based work to the gallery experience.
