No amount of urging will get Daisy Wang Yuyou, deputy director of the new Hong Kong Palace Museum, to reveal anything about the 900 artworks and antiques coming from the Palace Museum, in Beijing’s Forbidden City.
Wang is one of only a few who know what the exhibits are going to be, when they will arrive, where they are now and how the museum in Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District can install everything in time for its planned July opening.
We have been told that next month, when the press are taken around the finished building with Rocco Yim Sen-kee, they will only see empty display cases. Yim is the architect behind the building beside Victoria Harbour, whose design is said to invoke the architectural and cultural essence of its Beijing namesake.
