About Tung Wah Museum
Tung Wah Museum occupies the former main hall of Kwong Wah Hospital, which opened in 1911 as the first hospital in Kowloon and the New Territories. The hall was the only part kept when the hospital was rebuilt in 1958, and it was converted into a museum in 1970 to display relics and archives of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. The building mixes Chinese features, such as carved timber eaves and green glazed roof tiles, with Western bull's-eye and arched windows.
