The Muse Fest HK 2017 opened Saturday in Hong Kong, providing about 100 programs and activities covering culture, film, astronomy, science, art, history, archaeology and conservation.
喜欢参观博物馆的观众每人都总有自己独特的博物馆经验，可能是一件艺术品、一件会说故事的文物，又或是一个富创意的科学发明，在他们心里激起一些想法、一个涟漪，而就是在心灵里激起的这分微荡，吸引他们继续到博物馆游历。第三届香港博物馆节就以“涟”为主题，期望连结起不同的博物馆，以至观众，把这分涟漪的影响力推送得更广更远。
Organized by 23 Hong Kong museums, art spaces, and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the event will run until July 9. With “Rippling” as the theme, the Muse Fest this year aims to bring out the notion that museums are places where ideas ignite. By linking different museums and people together, Muse Fest encourages sharing of experience and inspiration gained at museums, through which unparalleled ideas and energy could be created like ripples.
今年，香港康乐及文化事务署召集了本署辖下的博物馆、相关的文博办事处、文化中心和艺术空间，合力炮制近百项精釆节目，加上粤、澳和本地的合作伙伴单位，以展览、电影、讲座、音乐会、导赏及工作坊等多姿多彩的内容，向参加者的心湖投掷小石片，期望激起的涟漪能不断延展，带来更多新思潮与能量。
To tie in with the theme of this year’s Muse Fest, “Museum Hopping Tour,” a free hop-on and hop-off bus service, will be organized, offering the public a wonderful experience of visiting different museums in the territory with six specially designed thematic routes.
