  • Legislative Council Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relations to Railways
    Legislative Council Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relations to Railways Approach and Updates of MTR Station Art Programme Purpose This paper aims to discuss the approach and progress of the incorporation of art in railway stations of the MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL). Background 2. The MTRCL is committed to providing a pleasant travelling environment for passengers. In 1998, the “art in MTR” concept was introduced to enhance the travelling environment and showcase the diversity of cultural and historical characteristics of local districts. A comprehensive art programme has also been developed which offers a channel for local artists to exhibit their talent and helps to promote the appreciation of art in Hong Kong. 3. Public participation is important in the station art programme especially for the stations of new railway lines. The MTRCL has asked the local communities to contribute their ideas for the art element for new stations in the preliminary stage of the station design. The aim is to reflect the cultural and historical characteristics unique to each station in the design. By participating in station design, the communities also develop stronger connections to the new railway lines. Approach 4. The MTRCL takes a number of factors into consideration when determining the type, size and location of artwork to be displayed at railway stations. The priority is that the art piece should not affect the normal operation and passenger flow of stations. Other factors that need to be taken into account include the environment of the station, restrictions of space and technical feasibility. Generally, sculpture and mural are two common types of artwork that are displayed at stations on a long-term basis.
