M+ is a visual culture museum and one of the world's largest modern and contemporary visual culture museums. Located in the West Kowloon Cultural District of Kowloon, it opened on November 11, 2021. It collects and displays visual arts, designs, architecture, and moving images from Hong Kong, mainland China, Asia, and around the world from the 20th and 21st centuries!
The exterior design of the M+ museum is a simple industrial style, with gray and metallic silver as the main tone and many wooden furnishings. It is visually pleasing and has a simple yet artistic feel. With the view of Victoria Harbour facing the West Kowloon Cultural District, both inside and around the museum offer great photo opportunities.
📷 Photo spot 1: M+ logo When visiting M+, of course, you have to take a photo in front of the M+ logo - this is also the location where most people take their first photos! In fact, there are two locations outside the museum with the M+ logo, not just at the main entrance, but also at the other entrance/exit. Just walk around the outside of the museum to find it!
📷 Photo spot 2: Gray three-dimensional wall There is a large gray three-dimensional wall on the side of M+ with several rows of connected long benches in front of it. Many people sit here to relax and unwind! The gray three-dimensional wall is a great photo spot, giving a simple yet extraordinary feeling.
📷 Photo spot 3: Glass exterior wall reflecting Victoria Harbour view M+ museum faces the Victoria Harbour view of the Hong Kong Island. Walking around the museum, you can admire the stunning Victoria Harbour view from afar!
📷 Photo spot 4: The spiral staircase on the 2nd floor The spiral staircase is located in the lobby on the 2nd floor and is an architectural landmark of Herzog & de Meuron, a Swiss architectural firm. It has a Northern European architectural style. This is also a popular photo spot in the M+ museum, and when it is busy, everyone will queue up!
Note: The spiral staircase is only for decoration, and the upper floors were closed.
📷 Photo spot 5: Colorful sun wall outside the exhibition hall on the 2nd floor This is my favorite photo spot! Seeing the colorful sun gives a positive and energetic feeling!
📷 Photo spot 6: Gray three-dimensional grid on the rooftop garden on the 3rd floor This is my second favorite photo spot. It feels like being in a sketch! When I was studying design, I used to draw some three-dimensional squares. Now I can immerse myself in the drawing. XD
📷 Photo spot 7: Sea view staircase location
As a visual culture museum, M+ naturally has many visually impactful artworks!
For me, the most visually impactful are colors, lines, and shapes. I like the feeling of a complex design with a neat structure!
Some people may find visiting museums boring, while others find it interesting. It depends on personal preferences, so just stay longer if you like it!
