Located at the southern tip of Kowloon Peninsula as the retail component of the Victoria Dockside, K11 MUSEA comprised 10-storey retail complex with a 10,000 square-metre floor area. It combines high-end experiential retail, art and dining facilities at the heart of Hong Kong Victoria Harbour area.
