M+, Hong Kong's premier art museum, has signed a multi-year strategic partnership with Paris's Centre Pompidou. The agreement, signed on May 15, 2026, by Centre Pompidou President Laurent Le Bon and M+ Museum Director Suhanya Raffel, covers joint curatorial research, exhibition development and sharing, co-commissions and artwork displays, and collection exchange. A major co-curated exhibition will be presented at both venues, with a series of jointly developed exhibitions staged at M+ from 2027 onwards, featuring works from both institutions' collections.
This partnership matters because it strengthens cultural dialogue between Asia and Europe, positioning M+ as a major platform for sustained institutional exchange. By building on Centre Pompidou's history of international cultural exchanges in Asia, the collaboration enables research-led curatorial approaches and projects that reflect shared inquiry and contemporary artistic discourse. It marks a significant milestone in M+'s commitment to advancing long-term, research-led collaborations on a global scale, reinforcing its role as a bridge between Asian and European visual culture.
