Critics of Hong Kong Palace Museum on the attack as public consultation begins
Opponents find fault with displays and lack of options in online survey, but architects back secretive appointment of design consultant Rocco Yim
Hongkongers are being asked to share their views until February 22 through an online survey or in person at the exhibition in Central.
The survey asks seven questions about the facilities and types of exhibitions and programmes people would like to see, but it does not touch on whether the museum should be built at all, or if it should be located in the West Kowloon Cultural District.
It particularly drew criticism for not being informative enough.
“There’s no information whatsoever on the size and proportion breakdown of the facilities. There’s not even anyone to walk me through the exhibit in person,” Civic Party lawmaker Tanya Chan said outside the exhibit hall.
