[5] UMAG houses a collection of Chinese antiquities, notably bronzes, ceramics, paintings and furniture and lacquer that has been built over the past sixty years through acquisition and donation.

[6] In recent years, the Museum has also been collecting historical photographs of Hong Kong and items of popular culture.

Since then, HKUMS, a non-profit organization whose role has been to provide support to the UMAG, has become a vital force in the promotion of art and culture in the Hong Kong community.

The Committee organizes a variety of regular activities related to art and culture, including lectures and seminars, museum and gallery tours, visits to private collections and artists’ studios, heritage walks and overseas trips.

Proceeds generated from the Society’s activities are donated to the UMAG for the acquisition of selective artworks, the sponsorship of special exhibitions and notable programs, as well as to HKU and the local community for the support of educational initiatives.
