The University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG) is located at 90 Bonham Road,next to the University of Hong Kong's East Gate entrance. Its exhibition galleries occupy the Fung Ping Shan Building [3] [4] as well as the first floor of the TT Tsui Building,where also the Museum Store is housed on the ground floor. The two buildings are joined by a bridge.
The Fung Ping Shan Building was graded as a Grade II Historic Building in 1981 and the exterior of Fung Ping Shan Building is now a declared monument under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance. [5]
UMAG houses a collection of Chinese antiquities,notably bronzes,ceramics,paintings and furniture and lacquer that has been built over the past sixty years through acquisition and donation. Artworks date from the Neolithic period to our contemporary era. Highlights in the bronze collection include works from the Shang to the Tang dynasty and the world’s largest collection of Yuan dynasty Nestorian crosses. The Museum also has a comprehensive collection of Chinese ceramics,as well as carvings in jade,wood and stone,and a representative group of Chinese oil paintings. [6] In recent years,the Museum has also been collecting historical photographs of Hong Kong and items of popular culture. In 2020,the Museum launched a new initiative called UMAG_STArts that explores the symbiotic relationship between science,technology,and the arts through the interdisciplinary studies of art history,conservation,and novel forms of technology.
