About this audio guide
This guide to M+ Museum in Hong Kong opens with the collection Swiss diplomat Uli Sigg spent decades assembling before donating over 1,400 works of Chinese contemporary art to the museum when it opened in 2021. It follows the controversy over a photograph by dissident artist Ai Weiwei, and the backlash that reached Hong Kong's chief executive after the city's national security law took effect. Look up at the harbor-facing facade built from thousands of LED tubes before heading inside.
