A really good small museum tucked away in the Kowloon park. We'll worth a visit
Well spent here for a day. Many things to learn and see. Very easy accessible by mtr as well

A simple but very beautiful museum detailing the history of Hong Kong from all fronts. I took quite a while viewing each display as they were all referencing to HK’s past, even before its rise as a global city.
Most importantly, entrance is free, so this was definitely worth the visit when you’re in Kowloon Park.

Excellent exhibits with clear explanations both in English and Chinese. Free admission and wheelchair accessible with highly accommodating staff. I highly recommend visiting, especially earlier on in your visit to HK as I feel it could be helpful in orienting you to different aspects and areas of the city, and give you some ideas on where else to visit especially if you enjoy art, history, and architecture.
A good small museum for getting an oversight of Hong Kong’s growth over the past two hundred years, mainly with a focus upon architecture. There are several display with archaeological finds to show the ‘deeper’ history before several areas with games and videos to talk about how the Hong Kong buildings have risen and risen through time, whilst also trying to preserve its unique heritage.
Truly an oasis, within a lush green park, that's in the heart of a busy neighbourhood - Tsim Sha Tsui. Situated in a historic building the discovery centre has a comprehensive permanent exhibition about Hong Kong from prehistoric times through the Qin Dynasty to the present, and a new limited time exhibition called Under the Same Roof. Be sure to check out the scheduled guided tours at 11 and 3:30.
A must visit. Many theme oriented display sections including muiscals oldies films... Etc all in all, this place helps you travel back in time...
This is my favourite museum in Hong Kong. At the moment they have Muse fest and all of exhibitions are free of charge. Regularly they do have other exhibithions free of charge like Bruce Lee exhibition. That one is my favourite. Bruce Lee is best known person from Hong Kong. He left a lot of impact on Martial Arts and Martial Art Films. It is worthwile to chek this litle shrine of Bruce.
Since a lot of museums are closed (due to renovation) during my travels, this is the only museum that was opened and nearby the place I’m going to.
I like how curated the exhibits are and they even have some special exhibits that they were preparing when I was there. I don’t know if the Pop Culture Museum will be for a limited time but it was the best thing to introduce Hong Kong media to the tourists and other enthusiasts.I really like it. I’m not a fan of Bruce Lee and I think they focus on that area too much?
The only thing I regret was I went there late and I only had an hour to explore the whole museum.
Also, please do the QR code surveys and you will get some freebies. I got a document holder with an amazing piece of art in front, a postcard, and a collection of envelopes with several pieces of art as well.

Nice historic of HK good place and quite place need to go . It near Che kung temple if want to travel in this area.
Great place to learn more about Hong Kong's history. It is a small museum but thoughtfully designed to engage the audience. Good location, it is right smack in the middle of Kowloon. It is free too.
This is a decent little museum. The first part about historic Hong Kong was very interesting to me, but much of the rest which focused on things like architecture were less interesting. Overall it is probably worth a visit. Admission is free and it is in a beautiful park.
This place is free but if you're an HK Chinese entertainment fan then it's the place to be. What stood out is Bruce Lee had it's own section/area. Glad I went and it was based on Google searches and the reviews also helped. I was there for almost 3 hours as I took my time looking at the features. There's a cafe in the museum so that helps if you're hungry before or after the museum visit.
Super little museum in Kowloon park. In an old and interesting colonial building, the museum is spread over 2 floors, which you are essentially directed around. The ground floor is really very interesting with galleries on prehistoric Hong Kong and later history basically laid out chronologically. The stand out best gallery here, though there is much great material, are the 7000 sherds of export ware displayed under the floor, from Penny Bay. As you go upstairs you go into the architectural gallery. Some nice audio visual displays there as well as models and practical displays on Chinese architecture such as the pan and roll roof.
Hidden gem of Hong Kong in the outskirts away from the bustling city. A mostly free museum (even to tourists which is really surprising!) filled with exhibits that are significant to HK’s arts and culture.
I really enjoyed my time here and I will surely be back in future!

Highly recommended. At first I was planning to stay for like an hour or two but I ended up staying for half a day and there so much left to see and do.
I say this is probably the best museum in Hong Kong. And the best part is it is FREE. Special exhibition are “pay to enter” though, but it is very decent price like 10-20HK$ I think.
It is walking distance from Che Kung Temple and it was a very nice walk.
The Hong Kong movie and Bruce Lee exhibition is superbly done.
