Hong Kong Museum of History

In 2001, the permanent display "The Hong Kong Story" debuted, it takes viewers on a 400 million-year voyage across ancient space-time to obtain a comprehensive grasp of Hong Kong's history and culture. The permanent exhibition at the Hong Kong Museum of History is now receiving extensive renovations. We organize the "Recreating a Classic: The Best Features of The Hong Kong Story exhibition to display the essence of "The Hong Kong Story" before the new permanent exhibition opens. Featuring about 460 sets of selected exhibits and 210 photos, the exhibition is composed of five sections including prehistoric Hong Kong and historical development, folk culture in Hong Kong, cession of Hong Kong and early growth of the city, Japanese occupation, modern metropolis and concludes with the return to the motherland in 1997.

For enhanced participation and enjoyment, new multimedia programs and photo-taking zones have been added, allowing visitors to relive memories of ancient Hong Kong. The Museum has released a new movie in which curators, designers, and conservators involved in the creation of "The Hong Kong Story" discuss the curatorial concept, interesting tales, and problems encountered during the process.
