MUSEUM OF HISTORY, Presentation

Hi, my name’s Scott, and I’m your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I’d like to welcome you to one of the Wonders of the World: the Hong Kong Museum of History.

The Hong Kong Museum of History is guaranteed to make history interesting and fun, even if you’ve never been a big fan.

The building is very recent, as you will have guessed by the modern style, and the 8000 square meters of exhibition space contain some 90,000 artefacts, including fossils, rocks and minerals, shells, stamps, bank notes, coins, historical documents and traditional costumes.

Step in and explore the eight sections the permanent “History of Hong Kong” exhibition is divided into – I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

The visitor route, spread over two floors of the building, will take you on a multi-sensory journey through 400,000 years of the history of Hong Kong and Southern China, from the Paleozoic Era to the city’s return to China in 1997.

If you were expecting a series of display cases where you have to stop and read every single word, you’re in for a pleasant surprise, because this museum offers much more: models, realistic reproductions of natural environments and scenes of everyday life, special effects, 53 multimedia programs, theater shows and interactive environments....
