In 2026, the PMQ Picture Book Library will officially open its doors.
This April, we begin with a brand new initiative, “START FROM HERE.”
Since 2017, PMQ has been curating picture book exhibitions across diverse themes, expanding how we see and imagine what picture books can be. Picture books are not just for children. They are a way of seeing the world that crosses ages, cultures, and boundaries.
Launching at the end of April, “START FROM HERE” brings together five Picture Book authors: Kinchoi Lam, Benny Lau, Maoshan Connie, All Things Bright & Beautiful, and Shana Cheung as co-creators. From book selection to curatorial concepts, from storytelling to spatial design, five creative forces will transform the library through five distinct lenses and themes.
This is a gathering and a beginning.
Where paths cross and stories find their first light.
Where creators and readers meet in quiet recognition.
Let us begin here.
More stories, more imagination, more surprises.
