Hong Kong History Museum

The Hong Kong Museum of History was established in July 1975 when the City Museum and Art Gallery was split into the Hong Kong Museum of History and Hong Kong Museum of Art. But some of the Museum's collections date back to the City Museum and Art Gallery founded in 1962 at the City Hall. In 1983, the Museum was moved to the temporary accommodation in Kowloon Park. It was moved to its present premises on Chatham Road South, Tsim Sha Tsui in 1998.

Elwin and I had the chance to visit the museum on one p-day.  Great efforts have been made in collecting, conserving, processing, studying and displaying cultural objects which are related to the archaeology, history, ethnography and natural history of Hong Kong and South China.   

Centenary of China’s 1911 Revolution:  we found it very interesting as we toured the museum.  Below are some pictures posted on the Museum's website, http://www.lcsd.gov.hk/ce/Museum/History/en/aboutus.php.  Please feel free to browse.  I also posted a slideshow of what we saw.
