**********************************************************
New Territories North residents and visitors will be able to enjoy the "Hong Kong: Our Home" art display at Ping Shan Tin Shui Wai Leisure and Cultural Building from today (June 18).
The display - which has been on show at the Hong Kong Museum of History - features two giant paintings made up by smaller artwork panels.
The colourful artwork depicts the beautiful cityscape of Hong Kong on both sides of Victoria Harbour and was created as part of the launch ceremony for the "Hong Kong: Our Home" Campaign on April 23.
Each of the giant paintings consists of 49 individual artwork panels that were painted by guests who attended the Campaign opening ceremony.
The giant artwork was assembled immediately prior to the ceremony as a symbol of partnership and co-operation amongst all those who call Hong Kong "our home".
The display at Ping Shan Tin Shui Wai Leisure and Cultural Building will be staged from June 18 to August 11. Admission is free.
