Annual Report 2021–22

社會責任 Social Responsibility 55 推廣文化承傳 Promoting cultural heritage CUHK's Art Museum celebrated its golden anniversary in 2021. Located at the heart of CUHK’s main campus and open to the public for free, the Museum is committed to the promotion and preservation of Chinese arts and culture. Its four galleries preserve more than 15,000 art works, mainly paintings, calligraphy, rubbings and ceramics. It has published about 120 scholarly catalogues to date, while it receives more than 60,000 visitors annually. It was also the first museum in Hong Kong to collaborate with The Palace Museum in Beijing. As a university teaching museum, the Art Museum works closely with many academic departments to provide students with direct, sustained access to original Chinese works of art. With a donation of HK$50 million from the family of Mr and Mrs Harold Lee, and another generous donation from the Lo Kwee Seong Foundation, an expansion project is well underway and a new main gallery of the Art Museum, the Harold and Christina Lee Gallery, is expected to open for use in 2023. The substantial increase in gallery space will allow the Museum to curate special exhibitions in collaboration with major museums and art collectors globally to promote Chinese arts and culture. 香港中文大學文物館 於2021年迎來五十周年 金禧館慶。文物館以推廣及傳承中國文化藝術 為宗旨，設於校園本部，歡迎公眾免費參觀。 館內共有四個展廳，收藏逾一萬五千件藝術文 物，主要為繪畫、書法、摹拓及陶瓷。文物館迄 今出版了一百二十多本學術性展覽圖錄，每年 接待訪客逾六萬人，更是全港首家與北京故宮 博物館合作的博物館。 作為一所教學博物館，文物館和大學多個學系 緊密合作，為同學提供研習中國文物實物的 機會。本年度，文物館獲利孝和家族慷慨捐贈 五千萬港元，連同羅桂祥基金的另一項重大捐 款，正展開新翼擴建工程。新展館預計於2023 年落成，並以利孝和伉儷命名，將為文物館提 供更多展覽及教育活動空間，加強中大與國內 外主要博物館及藝術收藏家的合作，在推廣中 國藝術和文化方面，肩負起更大責任。 中大獲利孝和家族捐贈巨款，支持文物館擴延工程。 CUHK received a generous donation from the Harold and Christina Lee Family to support the expansion project of the Art Museum. 中大文物館於 2021 年慶祝五十周年館慶。 The CUHK Art Museum celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2021.
