HONG KONG — A horse-themed light projection began illuminating the dome façade of the Hong Kong Space Museum from Thursday evening, marking one of the highlights of the “Hong Kong ICH Month 2026” celebrations.

The Journey of the Horse: A Legacy of Arts and Culture light show, sponsored by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, will run until June 24, with looping screenings nightly from 8:15 pm to 10 pm. Each session lasts approximately three minutes and is free for public viewing.

With horses as its theme, the show integrates museum exhibits with intangible cultural heritage (ICH) elements. It features horse-related historical relics, art treasures, and scientific knowledge, illustrating how the imagery of horses inspires artistic creation.

Hong Kong’s traditional ICH items are also woven into the show, including traditional festive celebrations, Cantonese opera, and blown sugar techniques.
