March events in Hong Kong 2025

In celebration of Arts Month, the M+ museum will offer free admission to the public on March 9. Visitors will be able to access all general admission exhibitions for free and without prior registration. This includes M+ Sigg Collection: Another Story; Things, Spaces, Interactions; Making It Matters; Shanshui: Echoes and Signals; Yasumasa Morimura and Cindy Sherman: Masquerades, and more. There will also be free screening programmes on the day. To facilitate the flow of entry, visitors will only be allowed to enter via the Artist Square entrance – the museum will open from 10am to 6pm, but visitors will be stopped from joining the queue at 4pm, so time your trip well!

Airside will soon be hosting ‘The World of ASMR’ exhibition that was at London’s Design Museum. This will be the Kai Tak venue’s first time collaborating with an international museum since its opening, and we’re so excited that it’s going to be this special exhibition on the euphoria or calm triggered by sound, touch, and movement. This immersive experience delves into the crackles, pops, feather brushes, whispers, and tappy noises that have become a whole culture and community around the world.

Showing over 40 works by contemporary artists, ASMRtists, and designers, the Hong Kong edition will also feature newly commissioned works by local artists which capture our city’s unique auditory identity. The highlight of the show is a sculpture of wavy, bendy pillows woven together to form over a kilometre of squishy comfort, where visitors can lounge while watching various ASMR-related videos. There’s even an entire room dedicated to Bob Ross, who many in the community dub the ‘Godfather of ASMR’. 

Don’t forget to try your hand at creating your own ASMR noises before you leave! Tickets to this exhibition at Gate33 Gallery cost $30.

The ‘Van Gogh Alive’ immersive art experience has travelled to over 100 cities around the world, and it’s returning to our shores on March 10. This exhibition stimulates the senses of sight, sound, and smell to fully bring visitors into Post-Impressionist master Vincent van Gogh’s artistic journey. 

3,000 paintings and images including famous Van Gogh classics like ‘Sunflowers’, ‘Starry Night’, and ‘Wheatfield with Crows’ are waiting to be experienced in an elevated way, with approximately 30 giant screens working together to project, break down, and enhance the paintings. Projected simultaneously across walls, columns, and floors, visitors can feel like they’re actually wandering through the world created through his bold brush strokes.

Apart from a redesigned layout that utilises more of the exhibition space than when the exhibition came to Hong Kong in 2019, this return also presents something new in the debut of ‘AI Van Gogh’; the technology brings the artist back to life and generates paintings in the Impressionist style for visitors to walk into. Classical music from Schubert and Bach will enhance the enjoyment of the artwork, while special scents are also used to heighten the immersive experience, evoking florals when viewing ‘Sunflowers’ or a fresh breeze in ‘Starry Night’.

Early-bird tickets are available until February 27 for $160. Thereafter, the standard price will be $190, with concessions available. Note that tickets to ‘Van Gogh Alive’ do not include entry to the AI experience section, which needs to be purchased separately on-site.

Maggie Choo’s cabaret bar is many things – an antique shop front, a speakeasy-style bar, an after-dark venue with live performances – but now it’s finally living up to its name as a cabaret spot. They’re bringing their first-ever cabaret show to Central’s nightlife scene, promising live vocalists, a jazz band, and a troupe of international dancers.

With Maggie Choo’s dark wood interiors, velvet drapings, and dramatic spiral stairs, the bar is a great setting for this kind of sultry performance. Audiences can expect a range of dance styles including jazz, ballet, and of course, classic cabaret, performed in tailor-made costumes and iconic cabaret elements like top hats. Performers weave fluidly through the crowd and guests are encouraged to participate in an interactive blend of elegance, sensuality, and humour that defines the art of cabaret – and, as with most things at Maggie Choo’s, boasting an Asian twist.

This new cabaret show will take place every Thursday from 9pm to 11pm. More show dates in the week will be added from March onwards.
