Hong Kong Museum of History, Hong Kong

We went to see the banks the art show. It was a wonderful show there was so much of his artwork and a lot of hand written letters from Banks him himself. I would highly recommend getting tickets to go see the show while it’s still in town.

Super big and interesting museum! We really like it and spend a good time in there. Plus is located in a good area easy to get there.

When we went there, they had two sections (Hong Kong history and something about Afghanistan). We only went to the Hong Kong exhibition. They guide you through the complete history of Hong Kong. Starting with the geological events that led to the landscape and ending with the modern day Hong Kong. It is explained really well and entertaining. For example, they build a small city displaying a Hong Kong in the early 20th century. The entrance is free and everything is in English as well.

The best thing with hongkong based museums are the effort made by the designers to recreate a piece of history. The permanent exhibits are so awesome that you feel yourselves time travelled to the past and got to witness some happenings of the past.

Free admission! Takes about 3.5-4 hours to thoroughly walk through, but goes in depth about the history of Hong Kong. Most of it was very informative and interactive, but some of the exhibits were a bit disorganized and difficult to follow. Great chairs and cushions to take a break if you’re tired ;)
