Exhibition
The Art Museum organizes thematic exhibitions that cover a broad spectrum of Chinese art, including paintings, calligraphy, a great variety of art objects and latest archaeological findings. Thematic exhibitions are frequently organized in cooperation with museums in mainland China, and with collectors' societies and private collectors in Hong Kong. Hence, rarely seen but important collections of Chinese art are made available to visitors so as to enhance their virtuosity and to promote the appreciation of Chinese art and culture. Special exhibitions to introduce the Museum's permanent collection are also regularly organized. Apart from exemplifying the rich traditions of Chinese art, the exhibits highlight the research orientation of the Museum. The Museum initiates and carries out research projects with specific reference to its collections and special exhibitions that are often complemented by lectures and international symposia. To heighten the interest of visitors, free guided tours by docents or staff members are provided for group visitors with advance booking, while free audio guide is available at all times.

Famous quotes containing the word exhibition:
“Work, as we usually think of it, is energy expended for a further end in view; play is energy expended for its own sake, as with children’s play, or as manifestation of the end or goal of work, as in “playing” chess or the piano. Play in this sense, then, is the fulfillment of work, the exhibition of what the work has been done for.”
—Northrop Frye (1912–1991)
“The hardiest skeptic who has seen a horse broken, a pointer trained, or has visited a menagerie or the exhibition of the Industrious Fleas, will not deny the validity of education. “A boy,” says Plato, “is the most vicious of all beasts;” and in the same spirit the old English poet Gascoigne says, “A boy is better unborn than untaught.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A man’s thinking goes on within his consciousness in a seclusion in comparison with which any physical seclusion is an exhibition to public view.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
