Exhibition

Harbour of Kowloon, Hong Kong, China, 1952

Hong Kong 1952 exhibition of the late Swiss Magnum Photographer, Werner Bischof (1916 – 1954).  The 85 photos selected for this exhibition constitute a lively documentary  of the 1952 Hong Kong where extremes abound. Bischof’s photos revealed Hong Kong as a rapidly growing community in search of a delicate balance between East and West, old and new, affluence  and otherwise, with a strong common desire to begin a new page in this haven of hope. The exhibition is also to commemorate the 100th birthday of Bischof, and to celebrate his life and achievements. 

Starting 1 February 2017, the HK 1952 exhibition will be open for public viewing from 3 pm to 6 pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, until 31 March 2017.
