The museum’s sweeping scope encompasses the story of the land and the people of Hong Kong, from 400 million years ago to June 1997. Our design creates a scientifically and histrionically accurate, dramatic and immersive visitor experience, a rock tunnel, theatre in an underground cavern, glowing magma beneath the glass floor, including a pulsing magma tube. We recreated various elements from Hong Kong’s past, including three types of forests, a Chinese Junk, a Han Tomb, a Punti House, Small Temple, Ancestral Hall, underground bunker, 1960’s movie theatre and trade fair. We also recreated a Hakka House, Pak Tai Temple Exterior, Cantonese Opera Stage and numerous other festival structures. The major set piece is a recreation of a Hong Kong street and harbour-front with reproductions of actual buildings, exteriors and interiors, from the 1890’s through to the 1940’s including sounds of the busy street.
