Hong Kong Museum Festival opens with hands-on local-history carnival

Hong Kong’s month-long Museum Festival opened on 31 October with the theme “Hong Kong Story”, running through the end of November. Organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, this year’s festival offers more than 60 activities across 17 museums and art spaces, including workshops, concerts, expert talks, guided tours and performances.

Opening carnival brings old Hong Kong to life

The two-day opening carnival is held at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre’s outdoor piazza in Tsim Sha Tsui, with stalls inspired by old Hong Kong that invite visitors to try hands-on activities from the past. A local resident told Commercial Radio that trying to dispense medicine for the first time was harder than expected. The programme runs all through November, with activities to suit different interests.
