The Hong Kong Museum of History is an outstanding exhibition that takes you through a fabulous educational and culture odyssey from the formation of Hong Kong's natural landscapes more than 400 million year ago up until the handover of the territory from British hands to China in 1997 and the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.The centerpiece of the museum is "The Hong Kong Story",a permanent collection of eight galleries comprised of hundreds of striking life-size exhibits.The exhibits take you in a very entertaining manner through the history of the territory. Accompanying the exhibits are the many multimedia displays,videos and graphics that expand on the themes that were being covered.Prehistoric Hong Kong :The life -size exhibits give you a glimpse at the early inhabitants' lives and customs.There are also prehistoric artifacts of stone ,pottery and bronze in display.From the Han to the Qing dynasties:The Han people of Central China brought their culture and technology to Hong Kong during the Qing and Han dynasties ,giving a boost to Hong Kong's economy.

Thank you Peixuan, Norman and Wai Kiat for posting the background  information on Singapore National Museum.

Group 3, Singapore National Museum has thematic galleries which showcase Singapore' history and culture.  I would like you to think :

(1) Why is it important for us to
know the history of Singapore?
(2) What have we learnt from our
past history?  What lesson did
we learn from Singapore's
occupation by the Japanese
during WW2?  How did the
Bukit Ho Swee Fire in 1961
spark the transformation of
Singapore's physical landscape?

It is quite easy to get the answers for the above.  Do post your answers under the workspace column.

Don't forget to do some readings on Hong Kong History Museum.
