"The Central Police Station compound is a remarkable jewel in the heart of Hong Kong, which is poised to assume a tremendously significant role in the cultural life of a city which I love. We are dedicated to offering the best heritage and arts experiences to Hong Kong and to cultivating knowledge and appreciation of contemporary art, performing arts and history in our community."

As Director of Tai Kwun, Timothy Calnin is responsible for guiding a team of passionate professionals in developing Tai Kwun into Hong Kong’s best-loved destination for heritage, arts and lifestyle enjoyment.

Timothy Calnin has held senior positions with leading musical and artistic organisations in Australia, Europe and Asia, which included senior executive roles at the Sydney Opera House, the Australian Chamber Orchestra and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra.

These various teams are committed to a single vision — to make Tai Kwun the Centre for Heritage and Arts, a place of inspiration, stimulation and enjoyment for all Hong Kong people.
