EVENT DESCRIPTION
Located on the southern coast of China, Hong Kong took advantage of its unique geographical position and historical background to become a renowned international metropolis, where East meets West and diversity thrives. The story of Hong Kong popular culture began with the boundless creativity sparked by the post-war baby boom and economic take-off, cultural exchanges with other regions, and talented and adventurous artists. Over the years, as mass media continued to grow, Hong Kong popular culture developed different features as trends evolved.
This exhibition, titled Hong Kong Pop 60+, focuses on the development of Hong Kong popular music, film, and television and radio programmes, as well as comics and toys, from the end of the Second World War to the early 2000s. Through showcasing more than 1,000 exhibits and introducing their social context as well as artistic features, the development of popular culture in Hong Kong is meticulously illustrated. The exhibition encourages visitors to explore Hong Kong’s past, while inspiring us to preserve Hong Kong’s diverse culture and create a better future.
