Reopening to the public on April 21, M+ is unveiling a host of exciting new attractions including new indoor and outdoor displays, retail pop-ups and restaurants.
In addition to the South Roof Garden on Level 3, the North Roof Garden will be opened to the public and display the M+ Playscape, a collaborative work with The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum, New York as a semi-permanent installation. Isamu Noguchi was an iconic cross-cultural figure in the history of modern art, design, and architecture who dedicated his life to making sculpture “a vital force in our everyday life” by exploring its functional potential in social settings.
The M+ Playscape includes benches and three play sculptures: several configurations of Octetra, a Play Pyramid excerpted from a playground Noguchi made in Japan (Kodomo no kuni, 1965–1966, Yokohama, Japan), and a Play Mound. These play structures are tools for stimulating our senses, inspiring experiential experimentation, and making connections between the body and the imagination.
From 21 April to 31 July 2022, M+ will be hosting two pop-up shops. The Mei Lok Store pop-up within the M+ Shop on GF is inspired by the Hong Kong of yesteryear, evoking happy childhood memories and a sense of nostalgia for the 1980s. Thames & Hudson pop-ups in both The Other Shop on B1/F, along the waterfront promenade and the M+ Shop, is a specially designed T&H book corner in the M+ Shop will showcase the recently redesigned World of Art, one of the publisher’s best-known series of accessible, pocket-sized books on art, architecture, design, and photography.
The sophisticated taste of Seoul comes to M+ with the arrival of Mosu Hong Kong, which is the first overseas branch of the internationally acclaimed, innovative Korean fine dining restaurant Mosu. Meanwhile, ADD+, the brand-new all-day dining restaurant, offers a dining experience that caters to the cadences of visitors throughout the whole day.
