Among life's pleasurable moments, many are related to the enjoyment of art. Through taking the MTR, passengers not only enjoy the ride to great living, but along the way can also gain the different enjoyment that art brings.
The "art in mtr" initiative has been a success since its inception in 1998, with the "Airport Express Artwork Programme" being the pioneer project. Thereafter, we have brought into our stations live performances, art exhibitions, display of artwork by established and emerging artists, students and young children. We have even made art part of our station architecture when we build new stations or renovate existing ones.
By incorporating elements of art into our network, the Corporation not only enhances the travelling environment for our passengers but also makes their journeys even more pleasant and enjoyable. Moreover, with MTR stations being an integral part of the community, the programme also provides opportunities to promote Hong Kong's community art, encourage art appreciation among the public and give residents a feeling of home at our stations.
This website introduces the various components of the "art in mtr" initiative. We hope it will give you a better understanding of our efforts and encourage you to seek out the artwork around the MTR system that has been put there for your enjoyment.
Looking ahead, we will continue to extend the "art in mtr" initiative to different parts of the MTR system, with an aim to making your MTR journeys more pleasant and enjoyable.
