About the Event
HKMM Friends-exclusive Event
A guided tour of our exhibition (including the “Across Victoria Harbour” Special Exhibition) led by the Museum’s curator, and to explore the fascinating narrative behind each exhibit and discover stories during the curatorial process.
“Across Victoria Harbour” Special Exhibition is organised and curated by the Hong Kong Maritime Museum, the exhibition explores the rich history of cross-harbour vessels, unveils their cultural significance and invites audiences to reconnect with the harbour, vessels, and the community’s collective memory. This exhibition centres around the familiar sight of Victoria Harbour. Through historical photographs and vessel models, the exhibition illustrates maritime trade activities from Hong Kong’s early years to the present. Of particular interest to maritime enthusiasts will be the once-ubiquitous “Walla-Walla” that recalls the glory days of the motorboat industry.
