★★★★★a year agoThe museum is within 15 minutes walking distance from Sai Ying Pun MTR station. But it could be difficult for the disabled wheelchair travelling up from the MTR station to the museum in Bonham Road. You can get a minibus from the bus terminal beneath Exchange Square and it will provide direct drop off to the Musuem in the HKU East Gate. The museum is in a well conserved heritage building. I loved the tranquil environment with adequate clear directory for the exhibited antiques in the museum. Highly recommended if you look for alternative places to visit after endless shopping in Hong Kong.

★★★★★Edited 2 years agoIt’s a hidden gem, relatively small collection, yet the curation is comprehensive and eloquent. Check out if there’s any featured exhibition. Worth to give a go if you have an appetite of cultural stuff.
