Our Secondary School Programmes introduce students to visual culture and the M+ Collections through conversations, activities, and active engagement. Using a learner-centred approach that prioritises critical thinking, self-reflection, and the development of visual literacy, the programmes are designed in response to local school curriculums and fall within the scope of Life-wide Learning. They help students develop creativity and nurture cultural awareness.

Through our programmes, students will:

Gain knowledge about visual culture
Express feelings and ideas in visual language or visual forms
Learn to be open-minded and respectful towards different viewpoints

We are grateful for the support of The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Hong Kong, which makes it possible for our Secondary School Programmes to be free for all Hong Kong secondary schools.

Special arrangement under the Prevention and Control of Disease Regulation

If activities must be conducted in smaller groups following the Prevention and Control of Disease Regulation (Prohibition on Group Gathering Cap. 599G), thematic tours will be available in a self-guided format. M+ will provide learning toolkits for school groups to explore the galleries after the groups attend an introductory briefing on the M+ Collections led by an M+ Educator.

Please plan to have additional teachers and parents to accompany students during their visits to ensure their safety and a smooth running of self-guided activities. We recommend a 1:25 ratio of teachers and parents to students.

Please note that a new vaccine pass arrangement in accordance with government requirements applies to West Kowloon Cultural District venues starting from 24 February 2022. Except for exempted persons, all visitors entering M+ are required to wear masks at all times, use the ‘LeaveHomeSafe’ mobile application to scan the venue QR code, and comply with the ‘Vaccine Pass’ arrangements as well as other requirements under Cap.599F. For further details, please see the press release from the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority and M+’s FAQ page.

Special Visit: 'Yayoi Kusama: 1945 to Now'

This programme aims to help students to make connections with the life and career of artist Yayoi Kusama. Through a retrospective of her paintings, installations, sculptures, drawings, collages, and moving image works, students will learn about the artist’s creative exploration, which responds to the art movements in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Her uncompromising avant-garde vision and core philosophy of life reflected in her works remind us that creativity is not limited by artistic mediums.

Special visits to Yayoi Kusama: 1945 to Now will be conducted in groups. Each group is limited to a maximum of twenty students and two teachers. If there are more than twenty students taking part in the same timeslot, our educators will divide them into groups. The museum can accommodate a maximum of 100 students and ten teachers for the visits during each timeslot. Groups of more than forty students will be given the priority to register for the 12:00 timeslot.

Bookings are available in phases. All programmes are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Booking results of phase one and two will be announced via email on Tuesday, 25 October 2022 and Friday, 13 January 2023.
