Hong Kong Cultural Center Complex
The various building complexes include the Hong Kong Space Museum (opened in 1980), the Hong Kong Cultural Center (1989), the Hong Kong Museum of Art (1991) and the Salisbury Garden (1997), which was expanded to include Art Square in 2014 . It is operated and administered by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), a division of the Hong Kong government . Right next to the Museum of Art , another Kowloon attraction can be visited, the Avenue of Stars (opened in 2004), an attraction for fans of Hong Kong films .
After more than twenty years of existence of the cultural complex, the operator decided to renovate and expand the LCSD. In January 2013 a paper with planning proposals was presented, which contained short-term and long-term measures:
- The short-term plan, which was to be carried out in two phases, included, in addition to redesigning the gardens, above all the construction of the Art Square by 2014 with opportunities for open-air exhibitions, which since then have shown sculptures by local artists in particular.
- The long-term plan included an overhaul of the Hong Kong Museum of Art (2015 to 2019), the overhaul of the Hong Kong Space Museum (2018) and the overhaul of the Hong Kong Cultural Center.
