Meeting Famous Germans at HKU – Meeting with German Olympic medallist Marcel Nguyen 德國奧運體操名將阮馬素
Marcel Nguyen, born on September 8, 1987 in Munich, Germany, is a German gymnastics champion and Olympic Medallist. In the 2012 London Olympic Games, Marcel won double Olympic gymnastics silver medals for Germany after competing in the Men's artistic team all-around, floor and parallel bars. Marcel Nguyen collected the first all-round gymnastics medal for Germany since the 1936 Summer Olympic Games held in Berlin.

In 2002, Marcel started training for the Junior National Team. In 2005, he became German junior champion on parallel bars, runner-up on rings and third in the vault. That same year he took part in the World Championships in Melbourne for the first time and was ranked 16th on the parallel bars. After the World Championships, Nguyen spent a year at the sports boarding school in Stuttgart in order to prepare with his teammates under the coaches Anatoli Jarmovski and Klaus Nigl for the 2006 World Championships in Aarhus.

He is popular not just in Germany, but also in Hong Kong. His online videos have gone viral on social networks since the summer 2012.

「針情線韻：中國少數民族服飾與背帶」展覽
香港大學美術博物館於由2013年12月15日至2014年2月9日於美術博物館徐展堂樓一樓展出展出李美賢庋藏的中國傳統服飾、銀飾及背帶。無論是色彩之豐富、技藝之精湛，風格之獨特，展品均體現出中國少數民族傳承至今於服飾工藝的巧奪天工。展覽配以精美圖錄。展覽與圖錄均由香港大學博物館學會慷慨贊助，藉以慶祝博物館六十週年及香港大學博物館學會二十五週年紀念。

苗、侗、水、壯這些源自貴州、雲南和廣西等中國西南省的少數民族，其服裝和背帶均繡以色彩絢爛、針工細膩的刺繡，有時甚至附以銀飾點綴，反映出當地悠久而別具特色的傳統文化。由於部份少數民族缺乏文字記錄，其織品展示的象徵涵義和色彩寓意，形成一種視覺語言，使之成為人類文化和文物遺產發展至今的重要基礎。

博物館開放時間為星期一至星期六，上午9時30分至下午6時；星期日，下午1時至6時。大學及公眾假期休息。
