The Peninsula announced Wednesday a partnership with London's Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) to create contemporary art installations across its global properties starting in 2025.
The first exhibition will launch at The Peninsula Hong Kong during Art Basel Hong Kong 2025, featuring newly commissioned works in the hotel's lobby and facade.
Xiaoxin Li, curator of the V&A's Asia Department, will oversee the debut installation, which will combine works from the museum's collection with pieces commissioned through Peninsula's existing Art in Resonance program.
"This partnership feels like the natural next step for our Art in Resonance program," said Gareth Roberts, executive director and chief operating officer of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels Limited, Peninsula's parent company.
The multi-year collaboration aims to expand public access to contemporary art by combining the V&A's curatorial expertise with Peninsula's luxury hotel venues.
Tim Reeve, deputy director and chief operating officer of the V&A, said the partnership aligns with the museum's mission to "champion design and creativity in all its forms."
Peninsula's Art in Resonance program, launched in 2019, provides funding and exhibition space to emerging and mid-career artists. The V&A partnership will allow these commissioned works to reach new audiences globally.
