HK$20M spent on salaries of M+, Palace Museum execs last year despite West Kowloon art hub’s deficit, figures show

Last year, seven executives at Hong Kong's West Kowloon Cultural District, including those from the M+ Museum and the Hong Kong Palace Museum, received a combined salary of over HK$20 million, despite the cultural hub running a chronic deficit. This revelation by Rosanna Law, the culture, sports and tourism minister, has raised questions about the allocation of funds when the institution is struggling financially. The situation underscores a broader issue about how public funds are managed in major cultural projects and whether the spending priorities align with the financial health of these institutions.
