The guests indulged themselves in the artistic ambiance of the outdoor terrace in the venue, which offers a panoramic night view of the spectacular Victoria Harbour.

Ravenel's Autumn Auction of Modern and Contemporary Asian Art 2009 is another significant event of the Group, following our sponsorship to a Louvre Gallery's world tour exhibition in Taiwan earlier this year." said Clara Kuo, CEO and President of Ravenel Art Group.
