What the future holds for M+ as the Hong Kong museum celebrates fifth anniversary

It has been quite a birthday celebration.

Ahead of the fifth anniversary of M+ on November 12, the directors of New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and Paris’ Centre Pompidou touched down in Hong Kong to finalise a tripartite alliance with the young museum. The formal pact will see two of the world’s pre-eminent modern art museums share collections and programming with M+ on equal footing.

On October 31, it was signed, sealed and toasted with high-wattage glamour at the museum’s fundraising gala.

The Halloween-themed party saw screen icon Chow Yun-fat, auteur Ann Hui and other cultural figures mingling with MoMA board members and trustees, lending that extra va-va-voom to the benefit.
