Visiting Hong Kong Museum of History
I visited the Hong Kong Museum of History over 7 times. It is a museum I like most in Hong Kong. The mission of the museum is to preserve and repair Hong Kong history heritage for the public. Let me tell you something interesting about the museum. (I suppose you can stay awake in this history class for over 10 minutes…)
The special feature of the museum is that it tell us the Hong Kong history from a timeline. Only one route threads all the exhibition halls together. I think that is the best design of all historical museums. History is consisted of reasons and results so the museum wants to link up all the historic events together. The advantage of the design helps us to understand the whole picture of Hong Kong history…
…Okay, at least we would not get lost in a one-way museum.
The Hong Kong Story is the permanent exhibition of the museum. We can discover Hong Kong from Stone Age to modern period in The Hong Kong Story. Frankly speaking, you would feel disappointed if you were coming for authentic heritage because there are not such rich ones at all. However, 1:1 scaled models are everywhere in the museum, such as mangroves, ancestral halls and Hong Kong old streets. The museum tried to recreate the real environment to visitors. 1:1 scale human models were laid out in the model buildings. I do not appreciate those human models actually because they are too genuine and too horrible. I hope they would not look at me all of a sudden when I stare at them. (One of the human models in the museum is headless. Will you try to find him out? :|)
