This is an excellent museum. Make sure to see it in order because they arranged it in order from prehistoric times in the actual formation of the island, to the historic dynasties, to modern times covering Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during WWII, to the television revolution in the 70's, and finally to modern Hong Kong. You will learn many... more

If you have 3 hours to spare, this is a very educational place to visit. You will learn about the history of HK from some 300m years ago until today. A lot of the materials also apply to the mainland Chinese culture, which is an added bonus. Highly recommended. more

I would never have imagined that the government of Hong Kong could create an awe-inspiring museum such as this. It covers everything from archeology, anthropology, architecture, sociology, popular culture to animal and plant life! They have real artifacts from centuries and millenniums past, life-size mock stores and houses from decades ago, even a retired tram that you can walk in,... more

This museum takes you for a walk through time. It starts at the very beginning when Hakka settlers from China came to Hong Kong on their live-aborad Junk boats. As you walk through the museum, there are various movie rooms, displays and recreations of old pawn shops or post offices which were typical in the colonial days. There are also... more

We had read about the Hong Kong Museum of History in the Hong Kong Lonely Planet Guide. We were especially interested in visiting the permanent exhibit "The Story of Hong Kong". We were so impressed with the museum that during our 2-week trip we visited it three times (which was not difficult to do given the entrance fee is HK$10).... more
