'M+ in the Making' is the first of many programmes at M+ that offer visitors a closer look at the museum. We invite you to take a seat, sit back, relax, and discover what’s on at this new harbourfront space, featuring a moveable, cinema-grade LED screen.

This programme takes audiences on a journey across the building through a documentary video and a series of playful animations that explore different aspects of it. 'M+ in the Making' also presents a rich selection of videos in which artists and makers share stories and behind-the-scenes insights about their works in the M+ collection.

What does it mean to establish an institution at the same time as constructing its physical building?

Building M+ charts M+’s journey from a vision on paper to a museum of visual culture moving into its concrete home. As a new kind of global institution based in Hong Kong, M+ has worked closely with Swiss firm Herzog & de Meuron and a team of international collaborators to articulate its identity and ambitions through architecture and materiality. Through footage of the construction process and interviews with architects, engineers, builders, and partners, Building M+ reveals how the final form of the building is not only a fitting response to M+’s geographical location and functional needs, but also an embodiment of the museum’s core values.

You might have watched artist Vincent Broquaire conjure rods and tiles from thin air with the stroke of a pen. You may have followed all of his button-pressing, switch-flipping, rocket-shooting, and fly-by landscaping. Now, you can relive our favourite builder's whimsical construction journey from start to finish in this SUPERCUT.

This series of ten animated episodes was commissioned by M+ to document the museum's complex, multi-year building project from a new and playful perspective. Broquaire’s black-and-white animations offer a poetic commentary on the contradictions of our relationship with the built environment and a roadmap for rebuilding the world according to our imaginations.

Watch the interview with Vincent Broquaire.

In this series of screenings at the Grand Stair, we aim to deepen the audience's intellectual, emotional, and physical connections with objects in the M+ galleries. Artists and makers share stories and behind-the-scenes insights about their work.
