DX design hub 11:00
The Hong Kong Design Centre presents ‘From Memory to Horizon: The Visual Language of Hong Kong Tourism’, now on view at The Design Museum, DX design hub. Spanning seven decades, the exhibition showcases how Hong Kong has shaped its global image since the 1950s through design, imagery and storytelling. Featuring a rich selection of rare cross-disciplinary visual archives, it highlights the close collaboration between tourism, aviation, hospitality, and the creative industries in defining the city’s identity as an international metropolis.
Organised into five thematic zones, the exhibition is led by designer David Lo as lead curator, joining hands with design artefact collector John Wu as co-curator. The zones explore the evolution of Hong Kong’s names and typographic expressions, the dual notion of the city as both ‘home’ and ‘destination’, its portrayal through cinematic visual culture, the East-meets-West character embedded in hotel branding, and the natural landscapes beyond the urban skyline.
Through posters, illustrations and advertisements, visitors are invited to revisit a pre-digital era when Hong Kong captured global attention through the power of visual creativity. The exhibition runs until July 6, 2026, with free admission.
Opening hours: 11am – 7pm (Closed on Tuesdays, except Public Holidays)
Venue: The Design Museum, 2/F, DX design hub, 280 Tung Chau Street, Sham Shui Po
