7 Ongoing Exhibitions in Hong Kong To Catch Now

Beyond Hong Kong’s award-winning culinary scene and world-famous city skyline, its status as a premier and prominent arts and culture hub is undisputed. As a city at the heart of Asia’s international art scene, Hong Kong frequently offers a wonderfully rich and diverse array of cultural experiences for locals and tourists to enjoy. 

March is fondly referred to as the city’s art month, as it curates world-renowned art fairs, cultural summits, exhibitions, screenings, art festivals, and more. In Art March Hong Kong 2026, an impressive lineup of over 100 arts and cultural events transformed popular landmarks, such as the West Kowloon Cultural District (WestK), into a vibrant centre teeming with history, creativity, and imagination. 

If you haven’t been able to visit during Art March, fret not, as contrary to its name, many exhibitions are still being held beyond the month of March. Ahead, we glean seven stunning ongoing exhibitions to add to your Hong Kong to-do list right now.

‘Ancient Egypt Unveiled: Treasures from Egyptian Museums’

With a rich recorded history of over 5,000 years, Ancient Egypt is full of never-ending wonders and mysteries. At the Hong Kong Palace Museum, discover how the civilisation and monarchs lived through 250 spectacular treasures from seven major Egyptian museums and the Saqqara archaeological site—think mummy coffins, statues, gold ornaments, and more.

The exhibition is organised into four thematic sections: “The Land of Pharaohs”, “The World of Tutankhamun”, “The Secrets of Saqqara”, and “Ancient Egypt and the World”, exploring how the politics, arts, everyday life, and religious beliefs shaped its people to become one of mankind’s cradles of civilisation.

When and where: Until 31 August 2026 at Gallery 9, Hong Kong Palace Museum

‘Certainly’

As one of Hong Kong’s leading contemporary art hubs in Wong Chuk Hang, Serakai Studio is constantly looking at ways to push the boundaries of what a cultural space can be. Its latest exhibition, ‘Certainly’, is no different. Based in Serakai Studio’s recently opened arts centre, Gold, ‘Certainly’ brings together 11 international artists whose works and practices lean into unpredictability.

Curated by Tobias Berger, the exhibition draws inspiration from La Monte Young’s Composition 1960 #10 —“Draw a straight line and follow it—using its simplicity but eventual impossibility to explore the notion that deviations should not be treated as failures but a powerful artistic force. Each work, from mixed media to sculptural pieces, delves into the tension between control and freedom, planning and improvisation, to show art in its most uncertain and experimental form.

When and where: Until 3 May 2026 at Gold, Serakai Studio, Hong Kong, HK

Danh Vo In Situ: ‘Akari by Noguchi’

If you’re looking for an Instagram-worthy art installation, Vietnamese artist Danh Vo’s transformation of the Found Space at M+ deserves a visit. Designed as an intimate social environment for people to gather around, Vo creates structures that act as flexible display systems. 

In ‘Akari by Noguchi’, the installation features an array of Akari light sculptures by famed Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi, complemented by an arrangement of tropical plants. The term ‘Akari’, meaning ‘light’ or ‘illumination’ in Japanese, refers to a collection of more than 100 sculptural lighting designs Noguchi created between 1951 and 1986. Here, the lantern designs made from mulberry bark paper and bamboo are reimagined at M+ to reflect Vo’s own interest in space and intimacy, and imbuing stories into found objects.

When and where: Ongoing at M+, Found Space, B2

‘FILTER: Reconstructing the Unseen’

Sometimes, you just need a reminder that there is still beauty all around us, even if we don’t see it. In ‘Filter: Reconstructing the Unseen’, the first overseas solo exhibition by emerging Japanese artist Marino Funahashi, her paintings invite us to slow down from the hustle and demands of everyday life and discover the joys of those fleeting and quiet moments.

Fall in love with Funahashi’s ethereal and delicate pieces, featuring soft water colours, light textures, and plant motifs that feel both uncannily familiar and hauntingly atmospheric.

When and where: Until 18 April 2026 at JPS Gallery

‘Threading Inwards’ 

In this fast-paced world, this thought-provoking exhibition invites you to slow down and reflect on the different dimensions of spiritualism through textiles. They appear in rituals and ceremonies, often accompanying people through cycles of life and death, joy and sorrow. 

Through the acts of weaving, stitching, and dyeing, and passed down from generation to generation, textiles are embedded with memory, emotion, history and beliefs. With works of 14 artists from across Asia, ‘Threading Inwards’ explores textiles as living pathways that transform into spiritual maps, opening up possible futures of change, living, and caring for the world.

When and where: Until 28 June 2026 at the Centre for Heritage, Arts, and Textiles (CHAT)

‘Ryuichi Sakamoto | seeing sound, hearing time’

If you lean towards immersive, sensorial experiences, ‘seeing sound, hearing time’ is as close as you’re going to get to one with music and visuals from two celebrated artists. Celebrating the legacy of the great composer, producer, and artist Ryuichi Sakamoto and with visual compositions from artist Shiro Takatani, this exhibition invites you to get up close and personal with Sakamoto’s work with dynamic sound and imagery. 

Renowned for his award-winning film scores and wide-ranging collaborations, witness a three-dimensional representation of Sakamoto’s critically-acclaimed album Async, as personal items such as Sakamoto’s instruments, books, and plants come alive on a large LED screen, before disintegrating one pixel at a time and regaining their original form once again. With a surround system via high-precision speakers, this is one sonic experience you won’t forget anytime soon.

When and where: Until 5 July 2026 at M+ Museum, The Studio, Grand Stair 

‘A History of China in Silk’

Did you know that China is the world’s largest silk producer today? 5,000 years ago, China, the birthplace of silk, was known as Serica (State of Silk) by ancient Greeks and Romans, famed for producing this soft yet firm lustre in various colours and designs. 

With pieces from art collector Chris Hall on display, trace the history of silk in China from the threads of over 100 striking textiles from the Neolithic period up to the early 20th century. The exhibition’s five sections, presented in chronological order, weave a vibrant tapestry of China’s society, fashion culture, and interactions with the world.

When and where: Until 4 May 2026 at the Hong Kong Palace Museum
