Location: Hong Kong History Museum, 100 Chatham Road South, Tsim Sha Tsui I haven't been to the Hong Kong Museum of History for a long time. It turns out that the permanent exhibition that I used to see since I was a child has changed its appearance😱. This new exhibition contains new hand-painted elements 🖌🎨, and with colored lights 💡, the effect of drawing dragon dot eyes 🐉👁. The entrance of the exhibition hall is built into an old-style Hong Kong street🛣, full of old Hong Kong shops. Each old shop is very characteristic. I can't help but take pictures📸. #photo #indoor # #Hong Kong #local #dating #parent #dating #indoor #local tour #exhibition #museum #historymuseum #Halloween2023

Today happened to pass by nearby, plenty of time, came to this history museum, unfortunately coincided with the history museum is undergoing exhibition update project, not come came, since it is free to go in and walk around it. Although the exhibits are back, you can see those who want to buy them, from the early people's life in Hong Kong to the Japanese occupation to the modern d 1970s Hong Kong general family life exhibits can be seen. What is impressive is the recounting of war times, seeing military tickets, post-war photos, and sighing. Walk out of dd and check out the grocery store, hair shop, rice shop, herbal tea shop. . It brings back many memories of old Hong Kong, and the street scenes from my childhood reappear in my mind one by one. . Although the exhibition hall is not big now, only one-tenth the size of the original museum, and it only takes half an hour to walk around, but friends who want to reminisce about the past can really bring their families to see it. Looking forward to the history museum being renovated soon and returning soon. #HongKongGood Places #WeekendExcursions #Historic Buildings

If you are new to HK and new to the Chinese culture, the Hong Kong Museum of History is always the best place to have a quick glimpse. Though ‘The Hong Kong Story' permanent exhibition is still under renovation, there are very instagrammable settings of the Old Hong Kong at 1/F Main Lobby, Hong Kong Museum of History. It replicates the traditional grocery shop, Chinese restaurant, a famous street stall for milk tea. This also gives you an idea of how the Old Hong Kong was like, when the chained supermarkets had not existed. #exhibition #museum #museumlover #explorehongkong #hongkongexplore #hk #hongkong #hkiger #hkig #hkinfluencer #hkkol #hkblogger #hklifestyle #展覽 #香港 #香港好去處 #週未好去處

The Hong Kong Museum of History is a museum that preserves Hong Kong's historical and cultural heritage. It is located next to the Hong Kong Science Museum, in Tsim Sha Tsui East, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The collections of the museum encompass natural history, archaeology, ethnography and local history. The museum was established by the Urban Council 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; some of the Museum of History's collections were on display at the City Museum and Art Gallery's original 1962 location at the City Hall. From 1975 to 1983, the Hong Kong Museum of History was housed in a 700 m2 rented space within Star House. In 1983, the Museum was moved to a temporary location (which now houses Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre) in Kowloon Park. It was moved to its present premises near Hong Kong Science Museum on Chatham Road South, Tsim Sha Tsui in 1998. It is currently managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of Hong Kong Government.#mytripvlog #tripblazers #
