Howdy, Easter long weekend. We’ve been sitting pretty, waiting with bated breath for your sweet, sweet arrival. If your impending five days off are not yet booked and busy, we’ll hand off this running docket of activities for your consideration. Things to do! People to see! Eggs to find! Beaches to revisit!
If Easter activities — beyond the typical chowing down of ganache-filled eggs — are your cup of tea…
K11 MUSEA’s The Great Egg Hunt
When: 2 – 11 April
Hidden across all ten floors of K11 MUSEA are Easter eggs, with hints given out by the mall’s new squad of smart robots from the K11 HK mobile app. It’s not sweet chocolatey delights, however; 100,000 K Dollars are on the line at K11 MUSEA this Easter.
As you course through the retail destination for your Easter eggs, make a stop at the Bohemian Garden for a stunning display by local artists Graphic Airlines, ZOIE LAM and toballki. Each artist’s hand-painted, larger-than-life Easter egg installations are beautiful photo-ops; even more so with the knowledge that K11 MUSEA has committed to donating to Make-A-Wish Foundation for every social post shared featuring these works of art.
