Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum
Built in 1914, the Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum is housed in the Kom Tong Hall, originally the residence of the local businessman Ho Kom-tong. The Hall, named after the owner, used to be the home for three generations of the Ho's family. Since the 1960s, the building was owned and managed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In 2004, the Hong Kong SAR government bought the premises and converted it into the Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum. The museum was open to the public in 2006; it was listed as a declared monument in 2010.
To mark the 100th anniversary of Kom Tong Hall, Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum showcases a selection of museum collection on Kom Tong Hall to revisit the history of the premises and to explore its architectural features from which visitors could get a glimpse of the exquisite blend of East and West.
