The Peninsula Hotels has announced a new partnership with London’s Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A). The hotel brand will launch a series of contemporary art installations curated in partnership with the V&A, debuting with an exhibit at The Peninsula Hong Kong, to launch in time for Art Basel Hong Kong 2025.
Through their multi-year agreement, The Peninsula and the V&A aim to collaboratively broaden public exposure to works of contemporary art, with the V&A lending its curatorial knowledge to the hotel group’s “Art in Resonance” program, bringing in a fresh perspective, as well as global access to emerging and mid-career artists, who will directly benefit from the program. In addition, the collaboration will commission specially created works for the V&A and various Peninsula locations, allowing the “Art in Resonance” commissions to reach new audiences.
The first iteration of the collaborative endeavor will debut in late March 2025, with a new “Art in Resonance” installation at The Peninsula’s flagship Hong Kong property. For this exhibit, which will coincide with Art Basel Hong Kong 2025, The Peninsula and the V&A will present a newly commissioned work, curated by Dr. Xiaoxin Li, the V&A’s curator, Asia department, which will be prominently displayed in the hotel’s lobby, and complemented by two other new commissions by “Art in Resonance” creators, in a new exhibition that will present the hotel’s heritage façade and classic interiors in dazzling new light, directly accessible for guests and the public to enjoy.
