Paper on the Development of Hong Kong Palace Museum 立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(1)668/19-20(05) Ref : CB1/PS/2/16 Joint Subcommittee to Monitor the Implementation of the West Kowloon Cultural District Project Meeting on 1 June 2020 Updated background brief on the development of Hong Kong Palace Museum Purpose 1. This paper provides background information on the Hong Kong Palace Museum ("HKPM") project in the West Kowloon Cultural District ("WKCD"). It also summarizes the views and concerns expressed by Members on the subject at meetings of the Joint Subcommittee to Monitor the Implementation of the West Kowloon Cultural District Project ("the Joint Subcommittee") and relevant committees of the Legislative Council ("LegCo") since January 2017. Background 2. On 23 December 2016, the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority ("WKCDA") announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding of Cooperation ("MOU") between WKCDA and the Palace Museum in Beijing to launch a new museum in WKCD with long-term loans from the Palace Museum.1 Under this special arrangement, HKPM will be established by WKCDA as a new focal point of WKCD for displaying the visual culture of historical Chinese art from the imperial courts. The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has agreed to donate $3.5 billion to fund the capital cost of the project, covering design, construction and exhibition development cost. HKPM will occupy part of the site originally reserved for the co-located Mega 1 A copy of the MOU (Chinese version only) is given at Annex B to LC Paper No. CB(2)544/16-17(01). - 2 - Performance Venue ("MPV") and Exhibition Centre ("EC").2 Its location is shown on the schematic plan of WKCD facilities in Appendix I. 3. Following the signing of the said MOU, WKCDA conducted a public consultation exercise from 11 January to 8 March 2017 to collect public views on the HKPM project generally and, in particular, on its design, programming, learning and interpretation opportunities. An independent consultant, the Consumer Search Group ("CSG"), was appointed by WKCDA to conduct an analysis of all the submissions and views received during the public consultation period. WKCDA also commissioned CSG to conduct a territory-wide public opinion poll on the HKPM project from 28 February to 7 March 2017.3 4. On 29 June 2017, WKCDA signed a Collaborative Agreement with the Palace Museum on the development of HKPM, setting out the major principles of collaboration, including the overall roles and responsibilities of WKCDA and the Palace Museum in the HKPM project, the governance structure of HKPM, funding arrangement as well as the general framework for loans of collections and other operational matters. A copy of the Collaborative Agreement (Chinese version only) is in Appendix II. 5. Following the approval of the WKCDA Board on the scheme design of HKPM by Rocco Design Architects Limited ("RDA") in September 2017 (a digital rending of HKPM is in Appendix III), WKCDA conducted public engagement from October to November 2017 to update the public on the progress of the design of HKPM. In March 2019, WKCDA awarded the HKPM main works contract, at the value between $2.1 billion and $2.2 billion, to China State Construction Engineering (Hong Kong) Limited ("CSCE"). At the meeting of the Joint Subcommittee on 25 November 2019, members were informed that HKPM was expected to be completed at the end of 2021 for the preparation of the grand opening in mid-2022. Recently, 2 MPV, with over 15 000 seats, was one of the 17 Core Arts and Cultural Facilities proposed in the Development Plan for WKCD. According to a press release of WKCDA issued on 5 September 2016, the WKCDA Board noted the further findings of a review on the possible development of an MPV and EC sharing a site on the western part of WKCD. Following thorough discussions on the latest developments, including the increasing use of alternative venues for performances, the development of the Kai Tak Sports Park suitable for mega performances, and the retention of the Hong Kong Coliseum for sports and performances, the WKCDA Board considered that the original proposal to build an MPV in WKCD was no longer a suitable proposition. 3 The Report on the Analysis of Views for the Public Consultation Exercise on the Proposed HKPM Project was issued to members vide LC Paper No. CB(1)924/16-17(01). - 3 - WKCDA indicated that,4 similar to other construction projects in WKCD, the development of HKPM has been affected by the outbreak of coronavirus disease-2019 since early 2020. Notwithstanding this, the main contractor has been working hard to accelerate works to catch up with time. Construction of the superstructure was progressed up to the third floor of the seven-storey building as at the end of March 2020. Major views and concerns expressed by Members 6. Issues relating to the development of HKPM in WKCD were raised by Members at meetings of the House Committee and the Joint Subcommittee. Members expressed divergent views on the matter. Their major views and concerns are summarized in the ensuing paragraphs. Development of a Hong Kong Palace Museum in the West Kowloon Cultural District 7. Some Members supported the development of HKPM in WKCD. They considered that HKPM would offer good educational value and could facilitate Hong Kong's cultural development and a better understanding of Chinese culture and history. In addition, HKPM would benefit M+ and WKCD by attracting more tourists to Hong Kong. The competitiveness of Hong Kong's tourism industry would be enhanced, thus benefiting Hong Kong's tourism and economy. Site selection 8. Some Members expressed dissatisfaction with the Administration/WKCDA bypassing LegCo in making a drastic change to the original scheme of development of arts and cultural facilities in WKCD, i.e. replacing MPV by HKPM. Given that Hong Kong had a serious shortage of performance venues, they queried why the development of MPV had not been proceeded with. Some Members held the view that the decision not to proceed with MPV was in some way linked to the HKPM project. 9. As advised by WKCDA, it had taken into account all relevant factors, particularly business viability and the market environment when deciding not to proceed with MPV. The WKCDA Board considered that the long-term demand of the entertainment industry for a 35 000-seat mega venue could largely be met by the main stadium at the future Kai Tai Sports Park, while the 7 000- to 10 000-seat indoor sports centre might help fill the demand for an alternative medium-sized venue in the urban area. It was envisaged that 4 Source: Press release of WKCDA on 25 March 2020 - 4 - competition from the Kai Tai Sports Park would seriously undermine the commercial viability of MPV and the prospect of attracting private financing. 10. The Administration emphasized that the decision not to proceed with MPV was based purely on technical and business merits, and that part of the site would be made available for alternative use even without the HKPM project. HKPM would only take up 10 000 square metres ("sq m") of the MPV/EC site, and around 28 000 sq m would still be available for the development of a multi-purpose venue for exhibition, convention and performance purposes. 11. Some Members pointed out that MPV should be developed at the site in accordance with the approved Development Plan ("DP") for WKCD.5 Since the site for the HKPM project was part of the site reserved for the co-located MPV and EC, they expressed doubt on whether the use of the site for HKPM should require prior permission from the Town Planning Board ("TPB"). The Administration advised that the building of HKPM was a use that was always permitted under the approved DP and its proposed gross floor area and building height did not exceed the restrictions of the relevant sub-zone on DP. As such, development of the new museum at the site did not require fresh planning permission from TPB. Public engagement 12. Some Members expressed concern on the lack of transparency and public consultation in the process leading to the signing of the MOU. The HKPM project had been kept confidential until the Government's announcement on 23 December 2016. Some Members pointed out that, according to section 19 of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority Ordinance (Cap. 601) ("WKCDAO"), WKCDA shall, in relation to matters concerning the development or operation of arts and cultural facilities, related facilities, ancillary facilities and any other matters as WKCDA considered fit, consult the public at such time and in such manner as it considered appropriate. 13. According to the Administration, the development and operation of WKCD involved a wide range of matters covering not only the building and operation of arts and cultural facilities, but also the planning and operation of 5 WKCD is planned to be developed by means of a DP prepared by WKCDA under section 21 of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority Ordinance (Cap. 601). After conducting a three-stage public engagement exercise, WKCDA selected in March 2011 the "City Park" conceptual plan designed by Foster + Partners as the preferred option for developing into a DP for WKCD. The WKCD DP was approved by the Chief Executive in Council in January 2013. - 5 - commercial facilities, public open space and other communal facilities. As the nature and circumstances of different proposals or projects varied, the stakeholders involved in public consultation, the manner and procedure adopted, as well as the timing and content for consultation would also differ. As such, WKCDAO provided WKCDA with the flexibility to consult the public at such time and in such manner as it considered appropriate.

    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • TFK/02/2017 on 14 February 2017
    Task Force on Harbourfront Developments in Kowloon, Tsuen Wan and Kwai Tsing For discussion TFK/02/2017 on 14 February 2017 The Development of Hong Kong Palace Museum in the West Kowloon Cultural District PURPOSE This paper contains information on the proposed Hong Kong Palace Museum (“HKPM”). BACKGROUND 2. The proposed development of HKPM in the West Kowloon Cultural District (“WKCD”) will be a unique collaborative arrangement between the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority (“WKCDA”) and the Palace Museum under which the exquisite collection of the Palace Museum will be loaned to HKPM for display on a long-term basis and in a more in-depth and comprehensive manner. The building of a new world-class museum dedicated to the display and interpretation of artefacts from the renowned Palace Museum is a significant addition to the cultural fabric of WKCD. Being the second major museum in WKCD, HKPM will enhance the cultural offering and greatly increase WKCD’s attractiveness as a cultural destination. Focusing on traditional Chinese culture, HKPM will add to WKCD’s diverse mix of programmes and activities, thereby enabling it to attract visitors of all ages and backgrounds, both locally and from outside Hong Kong. 3. Sitting across the Art Park from M+, HKPM will complement M+ as a museum of 20th and 21st century visual culture, allowing visitors to explore in close proximity arts and culture of both the contemporary and the ancient. It will also reinforce WKCD’s cultural offering of traditional Chinese art, with the Xiqu Centre located at the eastern end of WKCD focusing on performing art (Chinese opera) and HKPM at the western end Task Force on Harbourfront Developments in Kowloon, Tsuen Wan and Kwai Tsing TFK/02/2017 showcasing precious artefacts and artworks of the Palace Museum.

  • Representations of Hong Kong's West Kowloon Cultural District by Local
    Southeast Asia: A Multidisciplinary Journal, Vol 18, 2018, pp 44–54 © FASS, UBD Representations of Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District by Local English Newspapers Benny Lim The Chinese University of Hong Kong Abstract To enhance cultural development in Hong Kong, the idea of West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) was mooted in 1998. WKCD is the biggest and most important arts and culture project by the Hong Kong government to date. This paper seeks to examine how Hong Kong newspapers have reported on WKCD since the inception of the Authority in 2008. The purpose of this research is to identify the common issues on WKCD as reported by the newspapers, in order to deduce the possible effects of news reporting on the public perceptions of the district. This study employs the concept of agenda-setting theory in its theoretical approach on how newspapers direct attitudes towards a particular issue. A total of 744 news reports from three local English newspapers bearing the keywords West Kowloon Cultural District and WKCD were subjected to content analysis, of which 576 relevant articles are further classified into seven categories. To better achieve the research objective, semi-structured interviews were carried out with two specialists. Research revealed that the majority of the news coverage of WKCD focuses on political issues, rather than the arts and culture. Further analysis uncovered two major reasons for this focus. First, political issues are generally more newsworthy than arts and culture, and politics-oriented coverage gives WKCD more editorial space in the news media. Second, centering politics in the reporting of WKCD functions as a way to articulate to the public the power of the media to monitor the government.
