The YC Gala Day is the highlight of our series of events in celebration of our YCYW 90th anniversary milestone, it also signifies contributing for a meaningful cause as we fundraise for the Yew Chung College of Early Childhood Education (YCCECE), where Student Teachers are pursuing their dreams of becoming future Early Childhood Educators. In addition to a Gala Luncheon and Dinner, there will be a lineup of exciting educational activities throughout the day; including an inaugural student drama performance of our Mengxue Institute, a talk hosted by the architect and designer of Hong Kong Palace Museum, Dr Rocco Yim; a guided tour plus an exclusive gallery visit and student performances across different year levels, just to name a few.
From Dawn to Dusk: Life in the Forbidden City
Follow in the footsteps of the emperors and empresses of the Forbidden City and experience court life in the eighteenth century. Significant events from morning to bedtime and over 300 sumptuous treasures from the Palace Museum represent key moments in their busy and well-regulated lives. These moments bring to life the colour, texture, joy, and sorrow of life inside the Forbidden City.

In many ways, TIME is the most significant element in the design of museums.
A museum of contemporary art offers vision into the future: offering insights on how new aesthetical direction is being explored and related technology embraced. A museum of heritage / history opens a window back to the past: casting light on the wisdom of our ancestors in the creation of objects of enduring value. But in all cases museums have to be anchored in the present, rooted to contemporary culture and urban realities that are the pre-requisite conditions for the museum architecture to be of genuine and sustainable value.
The newly opened Hong Kong Palace Museum is borne of this age and this place. It embodies both contemporary urban culture as well as traditional visual and spatial cultures, and in doing so creates a space-time juxtaposition that relates our past to our future.
