In the past few decades, Jane has been increasingly concerned about the damage to the environment and since then she has devoted her time to campaigning and acting as an advocate for environmental charities and concerns. She has an exhaustive travelling schedule and speaks on average 300 days a year, encouraging people to do what they can to create a better world. This exhibition is the first ever holistic presentation of the early scientific discoveries of Dr. Jane Goodall, and it showcases her dedicated contribution in environmental conservation and youth empowerment through various interactives. With Dr. Goodall’s story, we wish to empower Hong Kong youth to take constructive actions in protecting the wildlife and our environment and also live a sustainable lifestyle. 展期 Exhibition Period: 地點：香港科學館地下展覽廳 Venue : G/F Exhibition Hall, Hong Kong Science Museum 至 Till 2.10.2019 票價：常設展覽廳參觀人士不另收費 Admission Fee : No extra fee is required for museum visitors of Permanent Exhibition 康樂及文化事務署和珍古德協會（香港）聯合主辦 香港科學館和珍古德協會（香港）聯合籌劃 香港賽馬會慈善信託基金 獨家贊助 Jointly presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and the Jane Goodall Institute (Hong Kong) Jointly organised by the Hong Kong Science Museum and the Jane Goodall Institute (Hong Kong) 2 Solely sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust © Michael Neugebauer 珍古德安靜地與她摯愛的黑猩猩 並排而坐 Jane Goodall sitting quietly with her beloved chimpanzee 透過投影技術，珍古德博士就像置身現場， 與大家分享她在非洲叢林的所見所聞。 Dr. Jane Goodall shares her stories from the African forests through a projection of her. 在這個紙森林裏，有着許 多不同的動物，除了黑猩 猩外，你還找到其他動物 嗎？ There are lots of animals in this paper forest.

Brother fights brother with politics and scheming for the throne. Freud, the leader, is in his prime - extremely smart and in control. But already, there is dissent within the ranks.

  • M+ Museum Building Completed the First Global Museum of Contemporary Visual Culture in Asia Set to Open at the End of 2021 in Hong Kong
    For Immediate Release M+ museum building completed The first global museum of contemporary visual culture in Asia set to open at the end of 2021 in Hong Kong The M+ building, viewed from Victoria Harbour. Photo: Virgile Simon Bertrand. © Virgile Simon Bertrand Courtesy of Herzog & de Meuron (12 March 2021, Hong Kong) M+ has reached the important milestone marking the completion of construction of the museum building. With the Occupation Permit for the museum building obtained on 24 December 2020, M+ is set to open to the public at the end of 2021. Designed by a global team of the world-renowned architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron in partnership with TFP Farrells and Arup, the M+ building is set to become a new addition to the global arts and cultural landscape and a new international architectural icon. Located in Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District on the Victoria Harbour waterfront, it provides a permanent space for M+, the first global museum of contemporary visual culture in Asia dedicated to collecting, exhibiting, and interpreting visual art, design and architecture, moving image, and Hong Kong visual culture of the twentieth- and twenty- first centuries. The commanding architectural form consists of monumental horizontal and vertical volumes—an expansive podium and a strikingly slender tower—reflecting the architects’ reading of the unique typologies of Hong Kong’s architectural landscape and their sensitivity to local urban conditions. Beneath the building site lie the MTR Airport Express and Tung Chung Line. While the pre-existing site condition Page 1 of 5 presents a challenge to design and construction, it has also become a point of departure for the M+ building.
