Hong Kong's Museum of Art History is hosting a temporary exhibition of Louis Vuitton history and creative collaborations. We were lucky enough to get tickets last Sunday to visit the exhibition. The majority of the first floor covered inspirational artists and art pieces by various contemporary artists. There were also many installations and vintage movie screenings with many mixed mediums. This part was cool, but it dragged on a little longer than I had expected, especially since we were there to see the Louis Vuitton pieces and collections.
Anyways, so the real LV exhibition started with the original LV travelers suitcases from the early 1900s. The super extravegant suitcases opened into full wardrobes, entire silverware sets with china included, and some opened into writing desks complete with chair inside! Simply Amazing!
The exhibition didn't show as many collection pieces as I thought it would, but it definitely had the iconic designers/artists of Louis Vuitton- Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince, and Stephen Sprouse with their own special sections within the museum. It was all amazing to see. My favorite part was an entire wall within the Stephen Sprouse room covered in original LV polaroids, some vintage, some of artists and muses, and some with Kate Moss and Marc Jacobs himself... pretty cool. If you live in HK I really recommend taking the time to visit and take in all the amazingness!
