Explore Hong Kong’s past through objects and reconstructed historical settings in the Hong Kong Story galleries. Children can compare how people lived and how the city changed, with enough variety for different interests.
The permanent exhibition reopened on 1 April 2026. The museum recommends at least two hours; choose a few themes with younger children. Improvement works may still cause noise or disruption.
