French May Arts Festival 2023
Exhibitions, Art performance Details
The Club is delighted to support the French May Arts Festival for the twelfth year in which the Club’s Charities Trust is its Major Partner. Under the theme ‘PULSARTE’, this year’s festival features a wide range of arts programmes and educational initiatives that runs from April to July.
A special highlight of the Trust’s support is the Virtually Versailles exhibition, combining heritage and digital technology, the world’s first and only official touring exhibition exploring the Palace of Versailles, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Screenings, school tours and in-depth talks for the Virtually Versailles exhibition were provided by the Jockey Club Community Outreach and Arts Education Programmes, allowing more people to enjoy the festival.
Other French May programmes include French Rendezvous@Tai Kwun: De La Fontaine, a performance featuring giant puppets and aerial dance; and a series of live and online talks, masterclasses and workshops presented by French artists and performers.
The Club has a long-standing commitment to promoting arts, culture and heritage in Hong Kong. The Virtually Versailles exhibition and the festival’s multi-art-form programmes, aims to inspire creativity and enhance our city’s cultural richness and vitality.
Virtually Versailles
The world’s first and only official touring exhibition enables visitors to explore the most striking locations inside the Palace of Versailles through 360-degree high-definition panoramic videos, interactive installations and dedicated mobile application. Visitors can almost feel as though they are stepping into the famed Hall of Mirrors, the French gardens and revisit the magnificent history of the Palace.
The exhibition is jointly presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and French May Arts Festival; jointly organised by the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, the Palace of Versailles and French May Arts Festival; and with major support of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust.
