Our Hong Kong Foundation has published the first Arts Innovation Research Report, entitled ‘Unleashing our museums, Reforms toward a new governance model’. The research report argues that the full potential of Hong Kong’s museums can only be unleashed under a publicly-funded, autonomously managed governance model. It proposes that legislation be enacted to establish a statutory Museums Board to enliven the museums scene and increase Hong Kong’s competitiveness as a cultural hub.

A vibrant museum sector is indispensable for a world-class city like Hong Kong. OHKF hopes that reforms of the governance model of our public museums would breathe new energy into the sector, for the benefit of the general public.

Aside from museum governance, the Arts Innovation research series will also cover various topical issues, encompassing the visual arts, performing arts and popular culture, in an attempt to find new paths for the long-term development of Hong Kong.
