Did you read Jimmy Liao’s picture books as a child, too? “Turn Left, Turn Right” and “The Subway” were surely some of the gentlest companions in our memories. Officially licensed by the Jimmy Liao brand and co-organized with Loups May, the Hong Kong exhibition “A Chance Encounter with a Glimmer of Light” will officially open at the end of March. We’ve rounded up the highlights you can’t miss and a shopping list for you!
What are the must-see highlights of the 2026 Jimmy Liao exhibition in Hong Kong?
Held at Harbour City Gallery, this exhibition centers on different states of life, with the space thoughtfully divided into three areas representing different stages of life. What makes this exhibition especially distinctive is its use of different media to create a multi-sensory experience. You can touch warm relief artworks and watch glow-in-the-dark effects quietly emerge in the darkness, perfectly recreating the faint glimmers found in the picture books.
Is the exhibition fun? Collect stamps through an interactive puzzle
No exhibition visit is complete without an interactive experience! A puzzle concept runs throughout this exhibition. Search for and collect stamps in different corners of the gallery, then piece them together to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake card just for you. This thoughtfully designed activity makes the exhibition more fun and lets you take this warm memory home to treasure.
What Harbour City-exclusive Jimmy Liao merchandise is available, and how much does it cost?
After visiting the exhibition, don’t miss the extensive selection of merchandise! Our editor’s pick is the “Corner of the Starry Sky” soft vinyl toy, a collaboration between Jimmy Liao and Loups May, priced at HK$950. If you’re on a budget, the HK$58 magnetic mini light box and the HK$38 Time Memory Keepsake Card are also great options. Also available are a HK$280 eco-friendly tote bag, a HK$330 T-shirt, and “Little Butterfly, Little Cape” plush toys (HK$168 for character versions and HK$138 for animal versions), all of which are practical and comforting.
