New Exhibition at HKMM

Coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the HKSAR, the Hong Kong Maritime Museum (HKMM) is opening a special exhibition “Hong Kong’s Maritime Miracle: the Story of our City since 1945”, which explores HK’s miraculous transformation from the ashes of World War II into a global maritime hub. The exhibition will be in five chronological phases, each representing a significant “moment” of post-war HK: “Regeneration (1945-1948)”, “Back in Business (1949-1970)”, “The High Growth Years (1960s-1980s)”, “The Container Changed Everything (1972-present)” and “The Future”. Highlights include a WWII bomb found in Happy Valley (plus a virtual reality exhibition to view bomb locations in HK during the war) and an outdoor display of the last remaining “Dai Fei” smuggling boat, captured by the Hong Kong Marine Police. 24 June to 30 October. hkmaritimemuseum.org/maritimemiracle
