Relive this joy with Hikoko's Happy Birthday Likeboxes, an art installation showcasing 366 illuminated mailboxes, each representing a day of the year. Their appearance, reminiscent of social media posts invites visitors to reflect on the often-impersonal nature of social media interactions and to create and share hand-drawn birthday cards with personal, heartfelt wishes. The installation enables the exchange of warm messages and personal creativity, spreading positivity and connecting people one card at a time.
Established in 1962, the city's inaugural public art museum, the Hong Kong Museum of Art, under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, is devoted to both celebrating local art and illuminating China's extensive cultural heritage.

It aims to present a diverse and contrasting world of art through a Hong Kong lens, striving to offer new perspectives on tradition and make art accessible and relevant to all.
