Learning about art from books and on screens is fascinating, but seeing works in situ, examining masterpieces in close proximity, feeling their scale and texture, such experience is just incomparable. What is more, when your classmates and teachers are all there together, going on a trip like that is perhaps one of the greatest highlights of your university years!

The University and individual donors have been very generous in supporting HKU Fine Arts student travel through both faculty-led and individual trips. In recent years, around 20-30 Fine Arts students each year benefit from the following travel grants:

A trip to the Silk Road led by Anita Wong in 1981

A trip to Italy led by David Clarke in 1987

Here is a list of department trips. Did you go to one of these?
