The year 2026 marks the 160th anniversary of the birth of Dr Sun Yat-sen. Dedicating his entire life to the mission of “rejuvenating the Chinese nation”, he made unyielding contributions to the country and its people. Dr Sun also had deep connections with Hong Kong, where he received education and spent his formative years. Through a curated selection of historical images, this mini photo exhibition guides visitors to revisit the footprints of Dr Sun in the Central and Western District of Hong Kong, and reflect on his unwavering patriotism and national spirit. |

| Description: |
Hong Kong’s industrial development can be traced back to traditional handicraft workshops during the Song and Yuan dynasties. In the mid-19th century, Hong Kong evolved into a major trading port, giving rise to modern industries. By the mid-20th century, labour-intensive industries such as textiles and garments began to thrive in Hong Kong. The 1970s saw the emergence of industries such as toys, electronics, and watches and clocks. Together, these industries became key pillars of the local economy in the 1980s. This document display revisits our industrial development and examines its impact on popular culture, while celebrating the resilience of workers and entrepreneurs who have made significant contributions to our economy.
This document display is also one of the activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series. The LCSD has long been promoting Chinese history and culture through organizing an array of programmes and activities to enable the public to learn more about the broad and profound Chinese culture.

| Description: |
Photographs capture transient moments. As they are duplicated, the moments are preserved, rendering history tangible through visual documentation and allowing one to visualise scenes that are long gone. The Chinese photography collection of the Moonchu Foundation held by the Hong Kong Museum of History includes more than 20,000 photographic works and related books and periodicals. The majority date from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, documenting significant historical events and military campaigns alongside urban landscapes and folk customs of the period from both macro and micro perspectives. This exhibition presents selected photographs from this collection to reveal the visage of China a century ago. |
