We are excited to learn that the Hong Kong Palace Museum will be open to public on the 2nd of July, a perfect date for family visits over the holiday weekend to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the HKSAR.
Sister to The Palace Museum in Beijing, the Hong Kong Palace Museum will showcase over 900 pieces of priceless exhibits from the original Chinese treasure vault, bringing the history and stories from thousands of years ago in the Forbidden City to public’s eyes, with some premieres to the world for the first time ever.
Designed by Rocco Design Architects, the Museum is poised to be a fresh and contemporary interpretation of traditional aesthetics, drawing inspiration from Chinese art and architecture, as well as Hong Kong’s urban environment. Three atriums will connect the different floors of the museum vertically, referencing the horizontal spatial configuration along the central axis of the Forbidden City. From the atriums visitors can enjoy vistas of the Entrance Plaza, the Hong Kong Island skyline, and Lantau Island, and appreciate the harmony between the museum building and its surroundings. With a total floor area of about 30,000 sqm, 9 exhibition galleries will meet the public and 2 of them are special-themed, be sure not to miss it during your visit!
OPTIMIX once again is honored to be participating in Hong Kong’s monumental construction project like this. We have supplied our Self-Levelling mortar combo SF80 (Primer) + SF818 (Underlayment) and our TG410E Tile Grout (High Performance). Self-Levelling is our prestigious product that is very suitable for spacious public area. When applied onto stable rigid substrates it can achieve a strong, seamless and smooth level surface in preparation for trafficable and decorative finishes such as carpet, vinyl, tiles, and resin based coatings etc., offering a reliable base for the museum to express their artistic insights on interiors and handle the high volume traffic.
