On the occasion of the exhibition Cartier and Women on view at Hong Kong Palace Museum, director Dr Louis Ng shares his insights on the show, and on the institution's positioning as a cross-cultural facilitator
Crown Jewel

In April, less than a year after it opened, the Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) welcomed its millionth visitor—a landmark achievement, particularly considering the city had largely been closed to visitors since the museum’s July 2022 opening. April also saw the opening of Cartier and Women, a collaboration between the maison and HKPM featuring approximately 300 pieces of jewellery, watches and other accessories created by Cartier, from the 19th century to the present day. A slew of celebrity fans including Michelle Yeoh graced the exhibition’s opening ceremony, as well as Carina Lau, Brigitte Lin and Pansy Ho who all loaned personal pieces for the show. Tatler spoke to Dr Louis Ng, director of HKPM, to learn more about the exhibition and the museum’s programming strategy.

When was the exhibition Cartier and Women conceived?
