He has given his entire collection of more than 100 Umbrella Movement sketches to the museum. Online photo collections like the wide-ranging Umbrella Movement Art Preservation Facebook page, put together by Hong Kong artist Kacey Wong, also provide a shareable digital resource. Oscar Ho, Associate Professor of Practice in Cultural Management at CUHK, says Hong Kong's new government-funded art museum M+ should devote a gallery to the artworks. "It's like the whole world is interested except the institutions of Hong Kong," says Ho, who has delivered lectures globally about Umbrella art. M+ told AFP it was still "carefully evaluating this recent past" and would not currently consider Umbrella Movement works for its collection.
