UMAG is a teaching museum. Museum staff instruct undergraduate students (courses ARTH2056, ARTH4005) and postgraduate students specialising in Museum Studies (https://www.mamuseumstudies.arts.hku.hk/). We regularly contribute to courses taught by other HKU departments, including the Common Core Course curriculum, and we participate in local and international conferences, round-table discussions and workshops.
UMAG organises guided tours and workshops for members of the general public, families and schools, aiming to promote art appreciation and an engagement with theoretical and practical topics related to art and culture.
The Museum’s community outreach is supported by funds from HKU Museum Society and through Knowledge Exchange Grants, and our impact was acknowledged by a Knowledge Exchange Award in 2014.
