So I just want to first start with the Hong Kong Museum of History is the COOLEST history museum (with the exception of parts of the Smithsonian) that I have ever been to. It was really well done.
With that said, most of this post will be about the pictures and their descriptions so you get a sneak peek at the museum :)
The museum was one giant exhibit called "The Story of Hong Kong" but was then broken down into 8 different sections. It began with the geology of Hong Kong and the creation of the earth, to the ecosystems, to prehistoric life, to various exhibits on the different Chinese dynasties then too the British rule, finally ending with reclamation! Lots of interactive things and lots of things to look at. A very engaging museum!
Museum Entrance
This is called "Singing In The Rain" because when the pipes fill they move and strike other pipes to make music.
For Daddy: its real and useable!!!
Cool bird cage light - mostly for Auntie Shona
