On 29 March 2019, the next edition of the Private Museum Conference will take place at The Peninsula Hong Kong, inviting private museum founders, private collectors, art industry experts and art media to explore and share insights around the topic of private foundations and privately founded contemporary art museums.

In this edition of the conference, the focus will be on different, and innovative forms of engagement beyond the traditional private museum set-up, particularly enforced by the new generation of private collectors and creators.

Those models are not seldom influenced by the regional conditions and existing frameworks, paired with flexibility, curiosity and eagerness to identify and capture chances.

In an age where digital presence and reach is as much considered as physical space, the roles and significance of these private initiatives in the global artscape become even more visible than ever.
