Muse Fest HK 2025 to feature over 100 delightful programmes (with photos)
*************************************************************************
     The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) will launch Muse Fest HK 2025 in November, rolling out over 100 fabulous programmes in 17 museums and art spaces. Under the theme of this year's Festival "Museum Anniversary", members of the public are invited to join the "birthday parties" of six museums. Furthermore, an opening program, "Fun@Museum Carnival", is being held to enable participants to deepen their understanding of museums from diversified experiences.
      
     The "Museum Anniversary" this year celebrates the anniversaries of six museums, namely the 70th anniversary of the discovery of the Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb, the 50th anniversary of the Hong Kong Museum of History (MH), the 45th anniversary of the Hong Kong Space Museum (SpM), the 40th anniversary of the Hong Kong Railway Museum (RM), the 25th anniversary of the Hong Kong Heritage Museum (HM) and the first anniversary of the Hong Kong Museum of the War of Resistance and Coastal Defence (MWRCD).
      
     The inaugural event of Muse Fest 2025, the "Fun@Museum Carnival", will be held tomorrow and Sunday (November 1 and 2) at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Piazza and the creative market at Tsim Sha Tsui, featuring a variety of activities, experiential workshops and stage performances. Admission is free. Apart from the giant board game, "Jumbo Museum Journey", which allows participants to learn more about the history and characteristics of the six anniversary museums, there are also the "Dazzling Ping Pong Fun" for multiple players; a new variant of ice hockey, "Floor Ball Adventure"; the collaborative Muse Fest street art creation "Collab Art Live"; and the "Classic Times Photo Booth", where participants can personalise instant retro newspaper and several thematic photo spots. Booths to introduce conservation works, workshops to experience cyanotype and tile paintings will also be available. There are also demonstrations on Hong Kong Intangible Cultural Heritage - namely Hong Kong-style milk tea-making technique, puppetry, female lion dance performances and film screenings. Participants may win mystery blind box gifts by taking part in selected activities at the carnival.
      
     This year, the LCSD is collaborating with several local brands to launch IP (intellectual property) products and food items. The "Museum Anniversary Brick Set Edition" created in collaboration with "City Story", features models of a Cantonese opera bamboo theatre, a diesel electric Engine No. 51, and the Shing Chai Tong Herb Co. They are available for sale at the museums' gifts shops and designated outlets. The SpM is partnering with Maxim's Cakes to launch a space-themed snowy BBQ pork pineapple bun, and 1,000 free buns will be given away at the '"Fun@Museum Carnival". The SpM is collaborating with Miramar Group to present a limited-time Stellar Pastry Collection at COCO patisserie at The Mira Hong Kong, interpreting the mysteries of the universe through exquisite pastry artistry. The Intangible Cultural Heritage Office, together with Black & White® and Chrisly Cafe, will provide free tastings of freshly brewed Hong Kong-style milk tea and distribute milk tea coupons.
      
     To attract tourist participation, the LCSD is collaborating with the Hong Kong Tourism Board to organise the first-ever free Tsim Sha Tsui Museum x Historical Landmark Guided Tour. The tours, conducted in English and Putonghua, will take visitors to the SpM, the MH, the Hong Kong Museum of Art and famous historical landmarks in the district such as the clock tower, the Star Ferry Pier, the Peninsula Hotel and more.
      
     In addition, various museums will host fun days during weekends in November, namely the Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum, the RM, the MH, the MWRCD, the Fireboat Alexander Grantham Exhibition Gallery, the HM, the Oi! art space and the Intangible Cultural Heritage Centre (at Sam Tung Uk Museum), offering a variety of special programmes and booth activities. As a featured attraction, claw machines are available at the six museums celebrating their anniversaries, allowing visitors to grab a special gift in interactive games.
      
     Apart from the museums under the LCSD, Muse Fest 2025 continues its partnership with multiple collaborative partners from Hong Kong, Macao and the Chinese Mainland. Participating local arts and culture organisations total 27, and there are also 15 museums from Guangdong and Macao supporting the event as part of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Museum Alliance. Highlights include the "Shenzhen-Hong Kong Hakka ICH - Hakka Architecture Guided Tour & Hehu Xinju 3D Model Workshop", co-organised by the Intangible Cultural Heritage Office and the Shenzhen Museum. This will be held at the Sam Tung Uk Museum to introduce participants to the essence of Hakka architecture and the related ICH of Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The Shenzhen Museum will also launch the Hong Kong Museum Festival 2025 Shenzhen Branch - "The Beauty of Ingenuity" with a series of free workshops.
     　
     The Festival will launch a mega publication and souvenir sales, offering up to 50 per cent discounts for selected museum publications and souvenirs, at specific shops. For more details of Muse Fest 2025, please visit the website at: www.museums.gov.hk/mf2025.
