                                      Sam Tung Uk Museum (Kwu Uk Lane, Tsuen Wan)
                                      Sam Tung Uk is a 200-year-old Hakka walled village that was declared a monument in 1981. It was converted into the Sam Tung Uk Museum and open to the public after restoration in 1987. The Sam Tung Uk Museum covers 2,000 square metres. Its symmetrical layout resembles a chessboard with an entrance hall, a middle hall and an ancestral hall in the central axis. With four individual dwellings in the centre, the premises are completely walled in by rows of houses on each side and at the back.  
                                      Sheung Yiu Folk Museum (Pak Tam Chung Nature Trail, Sai Kung)
                                      Located inside the scenic Sai Kung Country Park and occupying an area of 500 square metres, the Sheung Yiu Folk Museum was originally a Hakka village built in the late 19th century. The village and its neighbouring lime kiln were gazetted as monuments in 1981. After it was restored, the village was opened as a museum in 1984. 
                                      Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb Museum (Tonkin Street, Sham Shui Po)
                                      The Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb was discovered in 1955 when the Government was levelling a hill slope at the Lei Cheng Uk Village for the construction of resettlement buildings. According to its structure, inscriptions on the tomb bricks and tomb finds, it is believed that the tomb was built in the Eastern Han dynasty (25–220 AD). The exhibition hall was built adjacent to the tomb. In addition to the display of pottery and bronze wares excavated from the tomb, there is an exhibition namely "Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb" on display. Texts, graphics, photos, maps, videos and models are used to introduce the geographical situation, discovery and structure of the tomb.  
                                      Hong Kong Space Museum (Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui)
                                      The Museum comprises two wings - east and west. The former, the planetarium's nucleus, has an egg-shaped dome structure. Beneath it are the Space Theatre, the Hall of the Cosmos, OMNIMAX projector room, workshops and offices. The west wing houses the Hall of Space Exploration, the Lecture Hall, the Gift Shop and offices. Inside the Space Theatre, there is a hemispherical projection dome with a diameter of 23 metres. Boasting the first OMNIMAX film projector in the eastern hemisphere, the Museum is also the first planetarium in the world to possess a fully automatic control system at its Space Theatre. 
                                      Hong Kong Heritage Museum (Man Lam Road, Sha Tin)
                                      The Hong Kong Heritage Museum presents a unique mix of history, art and culture in a great variety of programmes that cater for the wide-ranging interests of the public. Featuring an exhibition area of some 7,500 square metres, the museum houses five permanent galleries - the Jin Yong Gallery, the Cantonese Opera Heritage Hall, the T.T. Tsui Gallery of Chinese Art, the Chao Shao-an Gallery and the Children's Discovery Gallery, as well as the thematic galleries that regularly host exhibitions showcasing the diverse treasures of our heritage.  
                                      Hong Kong Science Museum (Science Museum Road, Tsimshatsui East)
                                      The Hong Kong Science Museum is a modern, interactive museum, an inspiring and fascinating place for adults and families to experience the joys of science in a fun and educational environment. The three-storey museum has more than 500 exhibits in various exhibition halls, and visitors can take part in activities such as interacting with robots, experiencing virtual reality and having fun with "communication through wires".
                                      Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence (Tung Hei Road, Shau Kei Wan)
                                      Converted from the old Lyemun Fort, the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence is the city's only military museum. It locates on a headland overlooking Lyemun Pass. The Museum reopens to the public after a major revamp. Multimedia elements, innovative presentation methods and a thematic approach are injected in the revamped permanent exhibition and the historical trail of the museum to narrate the unique story of Hong Kong's coastal defence. 
                                      Hong Kong Film Archive (Lei King Road, Sai Wan Ho)
                                      The Planning Office of the Hong Kong Film Archive was formed in 1993 which signifies an ever closer union between the film industry and the cultural sector. The building is five floors high, facilities include a mini-cinema, an exhibition hall, a resource centre, collection vaults and restoration laboratories. 
                                      Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre (Kennedy Road, Central)
                                      Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre is an open, multi-directional art space that focuses on art education, research and exchange. Constructed in a cascade down the hillside, the Grade I historic building originally comprised four three-storey quarters with a brick, limewashed façade and a triangular gable in an ancient Greek style between the blocks. The east and west sides featured open colonnaded verandas typical of the Edwardian Classical Revival style. 
                                      Hong Kong Museum of Art (Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui)
                                      HKMoA is the first public art museum in the city, now custodian of an art collection of over 18,800 items, representing the unique cultural legacy of Hong Kong's connection across the globe. By curating a wide world of contrasts, from old to new, Chinese to Western, local to international, with a Hong Kong viewpoint, we aspire to refreshing ways of looking at tradition and making art relevant to everyone, creating new experiences and understanding. 
                                      Hong Kong Museum of History (Chatham Road South, Tsim Sha Tsui)
                                      The Hong Kong Museum of History aims to collect and preserve cultural objects closely related to the history of Hong Kong and the South China region. The museum's collections include archaeology, ethnography and local history. It takes the public on a journey through 400 million years of historical space-time to show the natural environment, folk culture and historical development of Hong Kong's unique history. 
                                      Hong Kong Railway Museum (Tai Po Market, Tai Po)

                                      Specialising in the collection, study and display of tea ware, the branch museum at Flagstaff House features at its core the generous donations of Dr K.S. Lo (1910-1995), which include many fine examples of the famous Yixing teapots. Built in the 1840s, Flagstaff House originally served as the office and residence of the Commander of the British Forces in Hong Kong. It was converted to the Museum of Tea Ware in 1984, with a new wing, The K.S. Lo Gallery, added in 1995.  
                                      Fireboat Alexander Grantham Exhibition Gallery (Quarry Bay Park)
                                      The fireboat Alexander Grantham went into service in 1953. Before being decommissioned in 2002, it served as the flagship of the Hong Kong Fire Services Department's fireboat team, responding to fire alarms and conducting rescue operations both in Hong Kong's waters and along the shoreline. The Alexander Grantham was built by Hong Kong & Whampoa Dock Co. Ltd. and, as well as an enduring witness to the history of Hong Kong's sea rescue services, it is also a testament to the achievements of Hong Kong shipbuilding in the 1950s.  
                                      Law Uk Folk Museum (Kut Shing Street, Chai Wan)
                                      Law Uk is a typical Hakka village house. The interior of the house is symmetrically arranged around the main hall. On the sides are bedrooms and workrooms with attics. In front of the hall is a light well with a kitchen and a storage room on both sides. To give the viewer an idea of what the inside of the house looked like and how the original inhabitants lived, the open space in front of the house is commonly known as "He Ping" and was used for drying grain, clothes and as a gathering place. 
                                      Oil Street Art Space (Oil Street, North Point)
                                      Oi! sets out to make art relevant in the community and to build a sustainable future through collective creativity and collaboration. Projects in a variety of genres – from design to architecture and from contemporary art to new creative media – are curated based on four main approaches: Oi! Spotlight; Oi! Daily; Oi! OnSite; and Oi! SoGreen.
