Free heritage museum in a historic Central wet market building covering Hong Kong's press and broadcast media through events including the 1997 handover, SARS, and political changes. Interactive photo machines and advance-book guided tours available.
๐ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 8 and up who have some awareness of Hong Kong history. Guided tours significantly improve engagement for younger visitors - book in advance. The Central location makes it a strong add-on to a day in the area. Under-5s will find little to hold their attention.

โA very detail setup about the history of media development in HK. Quite an inspiring platform to showcase the for the industry as well as very educational regarding the media broadcasting field.โ

โFree admission, great to spend 2 hours in a heritage site. Itโs informative and got lots of interesting tidbits and tells the evolution of Hong Kong news media through major incidents (disease outbreak, 1997 handover, political changes etc). I can see how the exhibit information is curated in a way that honours the facts (regardless of where you stand politically), has nuanced takes and more frank than what Iโd expect in the current environment. Of note, theyโre not funded by the government so every donation or purchase helps with their operation and building maintenance. Overall a very pleasant experience and would return.โ
