SPEECH BY THE GOVERNOR, SIR MURRAY MACLEHOSE, GBE, KCMG, KCVO,
AT THE TSIM SHA TSUI CULTURAL COMPLEX FOUNDATION STONE
LAYING CEREMONY, JANUARY 4, 1979
The laying of the foundation stone of the Tsim Sha Tsui Cultural
Complex marks the beginning of a new phase in the development of the
cultural life in Hong Kong.
The last five years have seen an unprecedented expansion in
artistic activities.
The next few years should see the opening of three major cultural
complexes in the New Territories, and the completion of this project
designed to be the cultural centre of Hong Kong, and so built on this
magnificent site.
When completed it will consist of three main components: the
space Museum which is already under construction and expected to open
at the end of next year; an Auditorium complex with halls seating a total
of nearly 5,000 people as well as an Arts Library and ancillary facilities;
and a Museum Block for the permanent display of the collections currently
held in the Museums of Art and History.
Of the total
