Traveler reviews

★★★★★4 years agoOne of the Le French May 2022 photo exhibition of Chun Wai held in this beautiful avenue - the gallery in this antique building was always a nice place to visit. Its tranquility alone was somewhat an attraction. An the university was celebrating its 111th anniversary, there was more happening and things to explore in the HKU campus.

★★★★★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.
