Introduction
Free Admission
"The Hong Kong Story" permanent exhibition was opened in 2001. It took audiences on a journey through 400 million years of historical space-time to gain an in-depth understanding of Hong Kong's history and culture. The Hong Kong Museum of History is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation for the permanent exhibition. Before the new permanent exhibition is launched, we organise "Recreating a Classic: The Best Features of The Hong Kong Story" exhibition to showcase the essence of "The Hong Kong Story". 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.
New multimedia programmes and photo-taking zones are featured for greater interaction and enjoyment, enabling visitors to revisit memories of old Hong Kong. The Museum has produced a new video featuring the curators, designers and conservators who participated in the production of "The Hong Kong Story" to share the curatorial concept, interesting stories and challenges faced during its production.
