PMQ, Creative design hub in Central, Hong Kong.
PMQ comprises two seven-story buildings that house over a hundred design studios, retail spaces, and restaurants throughout the complex. The buildings are interconnected and create an open environment where you can explore different creative businesses and dining options.
The building was constructed in 1951 as residential quarters for married police officers. The site had an earlier purpose when it housed an educational institution in the late 1800s that was significant to modern Chinese history.
PMQ serves as a meeting place where local designers display and sell their work to visitors passing through. The open layout allows you to watch creative work happening as you move between different studios and shops.
The complex is easily accessible from Central MTR station and sits in the heart of the business district. You should plan to visit during daytime hours when most studios and shops are open to experience the full range of creative spaces.
The central courtyard hosts rotating art installations and regular design exhibitions featuring works you won't see in traditional galleries. This open space frequently becomes a venue for local events and showcases pieces that celebrate both established and emerging talent.
