HONG KONG MARITIME MUSEUM, Deck B Rooms B1 B2 B4

The rooms you’re about to visit deal with different themes linked to the sea and to current issues such as the impact of climate change on the oceans in the exhibition, “Science on a Sphere”.

On this floor, you’ll find temporary exhibitions that change regularly, as well as 5 rooms with permanent exhibitions.

In room B1, you can see “China’s First Maritime Modernization”, an exhibition that illustrates how the seas today are safer than ever for both sailors and passengers, thanks to the development of technologies, regulations and improved safety measures. Here you can learn about major accidents, at times with numerous victims, including collisions, fires aboard ship and meteorological events such as typhoons, which have led to the development of more effective preventive systems.  

Now press pause and enter room B2, known as the “Swire Gallery” which is divided into two exhibitions.

The first part of the room shows the complexity of port activities and the numerous tasks carried out by the workers, as well as particular parts of ships such as large anchors and huge engines.

One of the most interesting attractions is an interactive display that shows you what the port looked like during different periods....
