Resorts World Genting, in collaboration with Thematic Legendary Kingdom and Bruce Lee Club Hong Kong is hosting an exclusive exhibition dedicated to the greatest martial artist of all time, Bruce Lee – Asia’s best-known Dragon – in conjunction with the Lunar New Year of the Dragon.
Running from Feb 5 to Apr 14, 2024, visitors and fans of Bruce Lee can immerse themselves in the global iconic figure’s cinematic legacy at Times Square Stage, SkyAvenue, Resorts World Genting.
Making its very first debut outside of Hong Kong, the exhibition showcases a striking 2.5m Bruce Lee statue in his iconic “kung fu” pose.
Attendees are invited to a unique photo session, imitating Bruce Lee’s pose, and will receive a specially crafted magnetic photo frame as a memento.
Additionally, there are captivating artworks delving into Bruce Lee’s fascinating life story, including original hand-painted masterpieces by renowned 3D artist Shannon Ma, along with limited-edition collectibles which are available for purchase.
The official launch on Feb 5 was attended by guest of honour Pahang state assembly Deputy Speaker Lee Chin Chen, RWG theme parks, tenancy and festivals senior vice president Aaron Soo, its corporate communications and public relations vice president Dato’ Sri Kay, Thematic Legendary Kingdom CEO Alvin Lee, Bruce Lee Club president W Wong and committee member for the club professor Hew Kuan Yau.
In his speech, RWG theme parks, tenancy and festivals senior vice president Aaron Soo said, “We are so proud that Resorts World Genting is the first to host this remarkable exhibition outside of Tsim Sha Tsui. We look forward to attracting martial arts enthusiasts and devoted fans of Bruce Lee to the exhibition, offering them the chance to learn or get reacquainted with the enduring spirit of Asia’s best-known Dragon, whose influence continues to resonate across generations.”
Bruce Lee Club president W Wong said the significance of the Year of the Dragon and Bruce Lee’s global recognition as the “Chinese Dragon”, whose heroic image transcends cultures and borders, must be recognized as they served as a perfect amalgamation of eastern and western cultures.
“Commemorating Bruce Lee goes beyond honoring an iconic movie star. It celebrates a globally outstanding Chinese martial artist, kung fu philosopher and action film superstar. The Asian Dragon’s indomitable spirit and remarkable achievements continue to serve as a source of inspiration for today’s youth,” he said.
The Bruce Lee the First Tour exhibition is available for viewing at Times Square, Level 1 @ SkyAvenue from Feb 5 – Apr 14, 2024 from 10am to 10pm. Entrance fee is RM8.
