Vision > Vision

The vision for the project embraces 3 principles, namely heritage, visual arts, and history:

1. Heritage:

	to set the Hong Kong benchmark for excellence in the restoration, revitalisation and adaptive reuse of historic structures; and
	to be the focal attraction in the Government’s Conserving Central project.

2. Visual Arts:

	to establish an international reputation for organising art exhibitions;
	to attract a high quality cluster of arts organisations;
	to create a programme and arts facility that will appeal to a wide cross section of the people of Hong Kong;
	to complement the visual arts with a lively and varied performing arts schedule;
	to provide an international platform for Hong Kong and Pearl River Delta creative talent;
	to attract international talent to Hong Kong through exhibitions and artists’ residency programmes; and
	to provide a practical training base for Hong Kong and China based arts professionals.

3. History:

	to provide a unique and informative interpretative experience;
	to relay the history and stories of the Site to students, local visitors and tourists; and
	to explain the role of law and order in the context of Hong Kong’s development.
