Description
The Making of M+ is an immersive visual encounter with the many stages of the museum's evolution. H. G. Masters, the book's guest editor, and Sulki & Min, its award-winning designers, present images and words relating to M+'s first three decades - starting with the reclamation of the land on which the M+ building stands. While the hundreds of images in the book document the programmes, collections, staff, audiences and architecture that have helped shape the museum, the texts have been carefully selected from key moments in the institution's formation, encompassing official pronouncements, staff mantras, public reactions, and snippets from the local and international press. Offering a wide range of perspectives and voices, The Making of M+ is an innovative companion to the creation of a remarkable cultural institution - the first of its kind in Hong Kong and Asia.
With 360 illustrations in colour
This visually driven compendium combines brief narrative descriptions and widely sourced images to tell the fascinating story of the creation of Hong Kong's new global museum of modern and contemporary visual culture
