★★★★★Edited a month agoThe exhibition was very well presented and maintained, with some good information on the history of Hong Kong, from the Chinese government's perspective. I was particularly impressed by the information on the many migrant groups that brought their traditions along and contributed to the collective culture of Hong Kong people. That very last room with the panoramic view was really well done. Overall, it was a very educational exhibition with exhibits that would entertain both adults and children.
