The area
Neighbourhood: Tsim Sha Tsui
Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the major tourist and shopping areas of Hong Kong. With a high concentration of hotels, retail shops and commercial offices – it’s a busy and bustling neighbourhood that never sleeps. On the surface, Tsim Sha Tsui seems to only feature an abundant number of high-end retail stores selling designer brands and jewelry, owing to its popularity with high-budget shopping tours. However, it also contains a diverse range of attractions for the entire family. Whether taking a walk in Kowloon Park, exploring museums, going shopping or grabbing a bite to eat – Tsim Sha Tsui has something for everyone.

Not worth going as of 16th March 2024. It is undergoing renovations so nothing there right now except a few text heavy display boards although admission is free if you must.

Read good things about this but it's only a foyer that is open at the moment with billboards about the space race and an exhibit about communication. If I had known this I would not have bothered going here

The had a small exhibition about Chinese space exploration looked like the rest was under renovation so nothing about the history. The entrance was free but exhibition was nothing special, but right across is the science museum which is really good.

Most of the museum was closed for renovation. Nothing about the history of the people or place. what was left was a propaganda trip for the new rulers. very poor.

I love going to museums on trips. This museum is by far one of the best I've been to, it is top tier! I spent half a day there, learned so some.

They have actual rail cars, tea taverns and such that they strip from the original location and moved into the museum, these are not replicas! Which blew my mind. It's very interactive. I loved it and can't wait to go back when I make my next trip.

It’s nice but too small. I think it is being renovated currently so I will go back in the future once all the renovations are completed

I love museums of history, and this ranks among the top quartile. The collections and displays are fantastic, and many, are also very colourful. Very educational.

The Museum of History was opposite the Museum of Science, and very educational and informative. It was a great place to learn about the history and culture of Hong Kong. More importantly, the admission was free for everyone.

Learned a lot about Hong Kong history despite the temporary exhibition. Found it interesting and helpful, but looking forward to when the new exhibition is unveiled.

This was probably the tenth time I have visited Hong Kong museum of history. And these were some of my favorite scenes from here. Such a fun way to learn much more about the city’s past and how it was shaped over the centuries.
