【Upcoming Exhibition⭐展覽預告】

In celebration of the 80th anniversary of the publication of The Little Prince in France, the University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong, and the Alliance Française de Hong Kong jointly present The Little Prince and the Pilot—a multigenerational exhibition and thematic journey through the life of the author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Rare photographs, letters, maps, personal items, manuscripts, and original editions introduce visitors to Saint-Exupéry—a legendary figure who embodied many roles at once: family man, friend, writer, painter, aviation pioneer, and explorer. By approaching his life from multiple perspectives, the exhibition offers a comprehensive portrait of the author’s extraordinary journey and the personal experiences that inspired The Little Prince.

The world-famous book takes centre stage as the key focus of this exhibition. Through design drawings and quotations, visitors can trace the character of the Little Prince and explore the story’s initial concept and creation, as well as key details of its editorial and publication process—revealing the author’s creative journey and deep philosophical thinking. A Hong Kong-exclusive display of character sculptures invites visitors to take photos and create lasting memories.

This exhibition is generously supported by IWC Schaffhausen and the HKU Museum Society.

為慶祝《小王子》於法國出版八十週年，香港大學美術博物館與香港法國文化協會聯合呈獻《小王子與飛行員》特展——一場跨世代的盛會，引領觀眾走進作者安東尼·聖修伯里人生的主題旅程。透過展出珍稀照片、信件、地圖、個人物品、手稿及原版書籍，讓參觀者認識聖修伯里這位兼具家人、朋友、作家、畫家、航空先驅與探險家多重身份的傳奇人物。展覽從多重視角探索其非凡人生，完整呈現這位作家的卓越歷程，以及促使他寫下《小王子》的親身經歷。

世界名著《小王子》是本次展覽的核心焦點。觀眾可透過設計圖稿與引文，追溯小王子的角色誕生與演變，了解其最初構思與創作過程，以及該書在編輯與出版過程中的重要細節，從而揭示作者的創作軌跡與深邃的哲學思考。展覽亦設有香港獨家展出的《小王子》角色雕塑，供參觀者拍照留念，締造難忘回憶。

本次展覽得以順利舉行，衷心感謝 IWC 萬國錶與香港大學博物館學會的慷慨支持。

Upcoming Lecture💬

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of the Art Market and How AI Can Help Fix It

How can artificial intelligence reshape the global art market? This lecture explores how AI is strengthening five critical pillars of the sector: transparency, trust, risk mitigation, integrated systems, and market intelligence. Through case studies from museums, auction houses, and private collections, it reveals how computer vision, provenance modelling, and automated risk analytics are transforming authentication, compliance, and due diligence. Rather than replacing connoisseurship, AI is shown as a powerful tool for augmenting human expertise, uncovering hidden patterns, and reducing uncertainty.

Co‑Creating an Imaginary House: A Parent‑Child Creative Workshop with Toshio Iwai [FULL]

Inspired by The House with 100 Stories, this hands-on workshop invites parents and children to co-create imaginative cardboard houses under the guidance of Toshio Iwai. Transforming storytelling into three-dimensional play, participants will explore collage, drawing, and simple construction techniques to build layered spaces filled with wonder.

Through the creative process, children’s curiosity and observation skills are sparked, while parents rediscover the joy of making together. Alongside the activity, Iwai will share personal insights as a father—reflecting on how handmade toys, everyday materials, and playful interaction can nurture a child’s creativity. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to experience art as a shared journey, where imagination grows through making, and connection is built through creation. 💬
