These furry little creatures sure know how to keep us on our toes. Chiikawa is back, and this time they’re bringing the world’s first Chiikawa-themed giant carousel to Hong Kong! Taking over our summer with ‘Chiikawa Artiverse’, this brand-new exhibition will transport fans into a cosmic space with original drawings, sculptures and installations, interactive experiences, and of course, a range of limited-edition souvenirs.
When and where is the Chiikawa Artiverse exhibition
Running from August 1 to September 6, 2026, the exhibition will be held at K11 Musea, split across two venues: the indoor exhibition space on the sixth floor of the K11 Art & Cultural Centre and an outdoor area on the ground floor of the K11 Musea promenade.
What to see at the Chiikawa Artiverse exhibition
This year’s event shifts the spotlight onto the artistic mastery of illustrator Nagano, mapping out an infinitely expanding universe across four distinct domains:
- Original Drawing Universe (indoor): Step inside to browse more than 130 precious replicas of original drawings and character concept sketches by Nagano, on display in Hong Kong for the very first time.
- Interactive Music Universe (indoor): Bringing Chiikawa’s incredibly popular ‘Pajama Party’ theme to life, this zone combines immersive soundscapes with theatrical staging to reimagine iconic scenes and connect with the characters through melodies.
- Installation Art Universe (indoor): This zone features the global debut of larger-than-life fluffy fur renditions of Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi. Alongside these huggable forms, you’ll also find a giant sculpture of Anoko and the first overseas appearance of a massive Siren sculpture.
- Kinetic Art Universe (outdoor): The Chiikawa-Go-Round is the world’s first Chiikawa-themed giant carousel installation, sitting outside on the promenade against the gorgeous backdrop of Victoria Harbour. Oh, and did we mention that you can actually sit and take a ride on it? Tickets are required for the experience though, so read up on the next part…
