    Wanted to explore HK today and found this art Museum near by. Entry was free so thought why not. Well worth the visit as lots of fun art from different periods on display. Some of the displays were also interactive making it more than just looking. As it is right outside the MTR station, super easy to find

    For a 6-8 hours of layover, you can’t find any other better way to experience HongKong! Highly recommend it. It took less than 50 minutes to get there from Airport, the walkway is mainly underground - so good for hot or rainy days! Free entry, and a tip to everyone: from the third floor windows, you can have the best view of the Victoria Bay. The collection is not huge, but the curators are smart - they put quite a few elegant exhibitions together with some coherent themes. Love it!
