Hong Kong Pop 60+, the Jin Yong Gallery and the Cantonese Opera Heritage Hall approach the city through different forms of storytelling and performance. They give the museum a specific appeal for visitors interested in cultural life rather than a single chronological history. The museum opened in 2000 and also presents changing exhibitions.
