August 2026 Hong Kong Activities | Events, Exhibitions & Things to Do

Safety Valve Gallery presents Tobe KAN's solo exhibition, "Good Afternoon, Good Evening, Good Night.", featuring a series of new and recent works by the artist. The exhibition title borrows the recurring line from the 1998 film The Truman Show — extending from the film's artificial constructed space into questions of how the everyday is repeated, how our sense of time becomes disrupted, and the structures and frameworks that quietly shape our imagination of home, nature, and identity — both physically and psychologically. Through painting and found objects, the exhibition unfolds along two parallel creative threads: one rooted in the artist's observations of plants encountered across Europe and Hong Kong; the other, more intimate and close to daily life — a series of domestic still lifes. Together, these works invite viewers to pause and reconsider the familiar — the routines we inhabit, the spaces we call home, and the quiet ways in which the world around us is always, subtly, being staged. Date: 6 June – 1 August 2026, 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM (Tuesday to Saturday) Venue: Safety Valve Gallery 3-F, Tai Sang Industrial Building, 25 Hing Wo Street, Tin Wan, Aberdeen, Hong Kong

L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts is bringing its most ambitious exhibition yet to Hong Kong — and it's one you won't want to miss. Running from 23 May to 11 October 2026 at K11 MUSEA in Tsim Sha Tsui, this landmark showcase brings together approximately 120 rare coral jewellery pieces and artistic specimens, making it the largest exhibition ever mounted by the school's Hong Kong chapter. Through three distinct lenses — biology, gemology, and art history — the exhibition invites visitors to explore the multifaceted world of coral: from its origins in the ocean's depths to its revered place in human culture and fine jewellery craftsmanship. Whether you're a jewellery enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply curious about the stories hidden within precious materials, this is a rare opportunity to encounter coral in a way that is both scientifically illuminating and visually breathtaking. Open daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM at Room 510A, 5/F, K11 MUSEA.

The Hong Kong Palace Museum presents the largest, most comprehensive, and longest-running display of ancient Egyptian treasures in Hong Kong. This landmark exhibition features 250 precious artefacts from seven major Egyptian museums and the Saqqara archaeological site, organized in collaboration with the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt. The exhibition traces 5,000 years of ancient Egyptian civilization through four thematic sections: 'The Land of Pharaohs', 'The World of Tutankhamun', 'The Secrets of Saqqara', and 'Ancient Egypt and the World'. Highlights include colossal statues of Akhenaten and Tutankhamun, gold ornaments, large-scale coffins, animal mummies, and latest archaeological discoveries. All artefacts are displayed in Hong Kong for the first time, with many exhibited outside Egypt for the first time.
