An Open Collection

​

M+ has been building a pre-eminent collection of 20th and 21st century visual culture since 2012, long before the opening of its museum building (targeted for completion in 2019) in Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District. Inspired by the idea of “openness” in the context of museum collections, digital culture, and Hong Kong as a historically open city, Day’s talk explores what it means for a museum to be “open” in the digital age, the role of the M+ Collections in fostering a culture of collaboration, conversation, and transparency among local and global communities.
