The Art Museum (formerly known as the Art Gallery) of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), with over 52 years of history and a comprehensive collection of more than 16,000 items, stands tall at the University, dedicated to promoting Chinese culture by combining research and expertise to inspire public engagement. In this issue of Cubic Zine, we feature Professor Josh Yiu, the Director of CUHK Art Museum. After studying at the University of Chicago and Oxford University, he has been adhering to his position and beliefs in museums, actively promoting culture and art education, and creating social impact.
