Architectural Features of Tung Wah Museum and Heritage Conservation

Upcoming Activity

Architectural Features of Tung Wah Museum and Heritage Conservation
Date: 2025/11/15 (Saturday)
Time: 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Venue: Hong Kong Central Library (Lecture Theatre, G/F.)
Description: Tung Wah Museum is a perfect example of the fusion between Chinese and Western architectural styles. The rationale behind the fusion stems from deep respect for the needs and preferences of hospital users, while echoing the architectural characteristics of other buildings within the old Kwong Wah Hospital. A rare instance of pre-war hospital architecture, it showcases a distinctive blend of architectural styles. The Museum has preserved a substantial array of traditional Chinese architectural elements, fully embodying the essence of classical Chinese design. At the same time, its western-style features reveal the design details found in other western-influenced buildings of the old Kwong Wah Hospital. The speaker will provide an overview of how participants can interpret the architectural design of the Museum from an architectural perspective.
