The Hong Kong Museum of History traces its origins to the City Hall Art Gallery and Museum, which was established in 1962. In 1969, it was renamed the City Museum and Art Gallery, and in 1975 it was split into the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Hong Kong Museum of History. The latter was relocated from its temporary accommodation in Kowloon Park to the present premises on Chatham Road South, Tsim Sha Tsui, in July 1998.
The Hong Kong Museum of History has a gross floor area of 17 500 sq m. This modern museum building includes about 8 000 sq m of exhibition space, together with supporting facilities such as a lecture hall and activity rooms. It is dedicated to public education and to promoting the history of Hong Kong, our country, and the world.
"The Hong Kong Story" permanent exhibition, the Museum's signature exhibition, brings together more than 2 800 valuable exhibits. With a broad historical perspective, it takes visitors on a journey through time, tracing the roots of ancient civilisation from the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong’s development into a world-renowned metropolis.
