Hong Kong Heritage Museum
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department manages a number of museums, including the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. The Hong Kong Heritage Museum, which opened in 2000, has a gross floor area of 32,000m2 and a net exhibition area of 7,500 m2, making it Hong Kong's largest museum of its kind.
Pros:
- Learn about Chinese art and culture.
- Kids will love the ‘Children’s Discovery Gallery,’ so make sure to bring the whole family.
- A good way to get some peace after the busy streets.
- For art lovers and anyone interested in history.
Why it’s awesome:
- The history of China is long and varied, and it differs greatly from that of Western countries. It's also not well-known outside of Asia, and a visit to the Hong Kong Heritage Museum can help change that. It's a way to gain a better understanding of a country that has grown into a global powerhouse while also becoming a popular tourist destination. You'll pass by some incredible works of art along the way.
What to do there:
- The museum's exhibits change frequently, so check out what's on offer while you're in Hong Kong. Six permanent galleries dedicated to Chinese art and Cantonese opera are available. A children's area is also a permanent exhibition, where they can enjoy the displays while learning in a fun and interactive way. The museum is fascinating at any time, but it's particularly fascinating during one of Hong Kong's frequent rainstorms, when you can learn about the city while staying dry.
Address: 1 Man Lam Rd, Sha Tin, Hong Kong
