"Dr Sun Yat-sen and Modern China" Permanent Exhibition

The "Dr Sun Yat-sen and Modern China" permanent exhibition at the Exhibition Gallery, 1/F is temporarily closed for the special exhibition 

Dr Sun Yat-sen was both a revolutionary forerunner of modern China and an epoch-making figure in turning China from a monarchy into a republic. As a dedicated revolutionary, he traveled across the country and launched campaigns around the world, leaving his mark in many places both at home and abroad. This exhibition aims at explaining how Dr Sun was transformed from an aspiring medical student into a renowned revolutionary leader. Supplemented by a scene setting and an array of historical photographs, the invaluable artefacts will help reconstruct the legendary life of this great Chinese statesman. Visitors will not only be able to get a thorough understanding on his studies and revolutionary campaign, but also understand why Dr Sun admitted that he got his revolutionary ideas in Hong Kong.

"Hong Kong in Dr Sun Yat-sen's Time" Permanent Exhibition

As an important commemorative facility of Dr Sun Yat-sen in Hong Kong, the theme of this permanent exhibition is inseparable from the intimate connections between this great Chinese statesman and Hong Kong. Apart from going through Dr Sun's activities in Hong Kong, visitors will be motivated to probe into an intriguing question, that is, why and how did Hong Kong in the late nineteenth century nurture someone like Dr Sun Yat-sen who possessed such progressive revolutionary ideas.

In the late 19th century, Hong Kong distinguished herself from the Chinese Mainland in its political system, urban infrastructure and public health. Above all, it served as the crossroads for oriental and western cultures where people enjoyed more freedom of speech and publication. With the display of invaluable artefacts, this exhibition will illustrate explicitly the role of Hong Kong as a revolutionary pivot in the late Qing era.

Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum

 

 

As 2023 marks the 112^th anniversary of the founding of Tsinghua University, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department has joined hands with Tsinghua University History Museum to organise this exhibition, which sets out to introduce the university's early development by showcasing about 60 sets of historical documents from the school. Eight distinguished academics from Tsinghua including Mei Yiqi, Ye Qisun, Liang Qichao, Liang Sicheng, Chen Yinke, Zhao Yuanren, Zhu Ziqing and Ma Yuehan (John Mo) and the contributions they made to the university's renown will also be highlighted. In addition, the exhibition, which has not been put on hold despite the ongoing effects of the pandemic, will feature not only the connections between Tsinghua and Hong Kong, but also the mutual support and encouragement ever since the university was founded.
