Hong Kong Heritage Museum

Hong Kong Heritage Museum

Hong Kong Heritage Museum is located beside the Shing Mun River. The museum opened on 16 December 2000 and is a museum of history, art and culture in Sha Tin, Hong Kong.

The museum building is the largest in Hong Kong, and can accommodate up to 6,000 visitors at once.

The Hong Kong Heritage Museum is a large modern three-story building in Shatin in the New Territories. It is a surprisingly large and modern three-story building next to a canal. In the museum you will find very old ceramics in the T.T. Tsui Gallery of Chinese Art where you can see very old ceramics such as antique bowls, pots, and vessels dating to the Ming (1368-1644), Song (960-1279), and even the history of Tang eras (618-907).

 Some of the vessels are large, and they are well-preserved, and the collection is worth much money. Along with this main collection of ancient artwork, there are both regular and featured displays of modern Chinese and Hong Kong art and cinema along with exhibitions of artwork and cinema from around the world. A lot of video displays where people can view the featured videos.

Along with this art, other highlights include a Children's Discovery Gallery, two theaters, and a Cantonese Opera Heritage Hall.

The museum is about a 15 minute walk from the Shatin MTR Station that is near the city hall. However, walking to it may be difficult unless you have a good map or a good idea of the area. It might be best to simply walk towards the large canal near the city hall building and walk to the right along the pedestrian way along the canal. It's a scenic and pleasant walk. You'll come to it in about 10 minutes.
