The unique Edwardian building is worth a visit in itself. Inside you'll find an expensive collection of medical memorabilia and exhibitions on all kinds of diseases. It's a great way to learn something of the history of Hong Kong too.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

A worthwhile educational stop for families interested in history and science, especially when combined with other Sheung Wan attractions.

Hong Kong is my favourite country. A place full of historical building. First time visited this museum and love it so much.If you're a heathcare worker like me..probably you can understand me.

Not sure if this counts as a hidden gem, but it sure is a great use of an hour of your time if you are in Sheung Wan and is budget friendly, too. Came for the architecture, stayed for the engaging exhibitions and the gnarly old medical equipment. Overall very happy to have stopped by!

This building was nice. But I will not recommend it if you do not plan to go around this area. In this building are mostly displayed old-time medical items or machines. You also can find and see the Chinese medicinal materials. This museum also has some fun interactive games to play. One of the corners has a small table; you can collect the special stamp for this museum. (This posting was additional charge, not cheap. You also can find skills without spending money. Because I saw someone did it ) If you are a flower lover. Please don't forget to walk around outside this building. They have a small medicinal flower garden, and mostly they have put the name beside the plant. 1 pax = around Hong Kong $20? (Foreigner)
