| 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. |

| Description: |
Postage stamps are used as vouchers for postal services and also a microcosm of local culture and history. Hong Kong began its postal services and issued its first postage stamps in the 19th century. As times change, the design of definitive stamps began to incorporate local themes, presenting style that harmonizes Eastern and Western cultures. Furthermore, Hong Kong also issued different sets of commemorative stamps to highlight major events and local characteristics. An exhibition on documents related to Hong Kong stamps is held in the Hong Kong Central Library. Readers can gain more insights into its development and characteristics.
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.
