About Hong Kong Museum of History
The Hong Kong Museum of History presents the history of Hong Kong from ancient civilisation to its emergence as an international metropolis. Its 'Hong Kong Story' permanent exhibition, which reopened on 1 April 2026, has more than 2,800 exhibits in four chapters, and the National Security Exhibition Gallery on the second floor is dedicated to national security education. The museum moved to its present building on Chatham Road South in 1998, next to the Hong Kong Science Museum.
