Free Admission

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

Some showcases are temporarily secluded during lighting improvement works. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Free Admission

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.

"History and Renovation of Kom Tong Hall" Permanent Exhibition

Free Admission

Kom Tong Hall, home to the Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum, was built in 1914 as the residence of Hong Kong businessman Ho Kom-tong (1866–1950). In 1960, it was transferred to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In 2004, the Church surrendered the premises to the HKSAR Government to convert it into the Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum. In 2010, it was declared as a monument.

This exhibition explores the life of Ho Kom-tong through precious artefacts donated by his descendants and interview clips, while also showcasing the architectural features, historical significance, and restoration process of this premises.
