HONG KONG.- M+, Asia’s first global museum of contemporary visual culture in the West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong, marked its second anniversary on this Sunday, 12 November 2023. The museum has received over 4.6 million visitations since its opening in 2021, thanks to the strong support of the Hong Kong community as well as Greater China and international audience over the past two years. To celebrate the milestone and express gratitude for public support, M+ offered special free admission arrangements and public programmes.

M+ opened from 10:00 to 18:00 on 12 November 2023 where visitors enjoyed free access to all General Admission exhibitions and programmes without pre-registration. Visitors entered the museum through Artist Square Entrance only, though some of the entrances and exits of the museum were closed on the day. To ensure that visitors had a high-quality visiting experience, the museum controlled the number of visitors entering the museum. Visitors were required to queue outside the entrance and follow museum staff’s onsite instructions and stopped newcomers from joining the queue outside the museum at 16:00 to ensure that visitors would have sufficient time to explore the museum.

On the special day, M+ Members, Patrons, ticketholders or ticket buyers of Special Exhibition Madame Song: Pioneering Art and Fashion in China could enter the museum via Art Park Entrance. Special Exhibition ticketholders were able to also enjoy free access to the M+ Lounge^ on L11 of the museum, which is normally an exclusive space for M+ Members and Patrons.
