Hong Kong’s chief secretary for administration and WKCDA board chairman Carrie Lam officiated the ceremony. Other officiating guests included WKCDA chief executive officer Duncan Pescod, M+ deputy director and chief curator Doryun Chong, the recently appointed M+ executive director Suhanya Raffel and Vincent Pang, managing director of VPANG Architects, one of the three local architectural firms (the other two being JET Architecture and Lisa Cheung) that oversaw the design of the structure.
