Asia Society Hong Kong Center (ASHK), an affiliate of the global Asia Society network with 16 centers worldwide, was established in 1990 by a group of visionary Hong Kong community leaders led by the late Sir Q.W. Lee, Honorary Chairman of Hang Seng Bank.

In February 2012, ASHK opened its permanent home at the Former Explosives Magazine of the Old Victoria Barracks in Admiralty. This 1.364-hectare heritage site, originally built by the British Army in the mid-19th century for ammunition storage, comprises four historic military buildings. Through meticulous conservation and adaptive reuse, the site has been transformed into a vibrant cultural, artistic, and intellectual hub.

Surrounded by natural beauty and steeped in history, ASHK offers a dynamic range of programs—including lectures, performances, film screenings, and exhibitions—that engage the community and foster cross-cultural dialogue.

Entirely funded by local support, ASHK sustains its mission through membership, fundraising events, and contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations committed to advancing its work.
