The highly-anticipated new K11 Musea is now open, so here’s all you need to know about the shops and restaurants that are set to open in TST’s Victoria Dockside.
Ten years in the making, brace yourself ladies and gentlemen, K11 MUSEA at Victoria Dockside has finally opened its doors. Spanning 10-storeys and 1.2 million square feet, this new cultural-retail destination brings together retail, art, culture and entertainment (not to mention gastronomy) all under one roof. With countless new dining outlets open now, and more still in the works, here’s what you need to know about the new development. From Five Guy’s second Hong Kong location, to Fortnum and Mason’s first overseas foray, the arrival of London’s Avobar and much more, there’s plenty to get excited about – and we have all the details. Below, we’ve highlighted just a few of our favourite dining picks from K11 MUSEA, but you can find the full list of restaurant openings here.
Along with gastronomy, the shopping and lifestyle destination will house a range of luxury shops, including beauty brands such as Aesop, Bobbi Brown and Charlotte Tilbury, along with the likes of ba&sh, COS, Sandro and more from the fashion world. And though shopping malls and museums aren’t usually places that blend well together, K11 MUSEA is pushing boundaries with an array of art and cultural offerings sitting alongside the usual shops and restaurants. Boasting a rotating collection of world-class art, one of the world’s largest living walls, a one-of-a-kind outdoor amphitheatre space, and a 2,000 square-foot Sunken Plaza (designed to be “an immersive venue for a slew of cultural events such as film festivals and live music”), there’s a lot to be excited about.
