The museum's collections span natural history, archaeology, ethnography and local history, placing very different parts of Hong Kong's past within one institution. Its Hong Kong Story permanent exhibition gives the visit a clear centre. The neighbouring Science Museum offers another substantial indoor visit, though combining both needs careful pacing.
What to look for
Hong Kong Story is the museum’s permanent city-history exhibition.
The collections connect archaeology, cultural traditions and local history.
Useful to know
Allow about two hours for the permanent exhibition, adding time for temporary shows.
If pairing it with the Science Museum next door, prioritise the exhibitions that interest you most.
