Stephen Hui Geological Museum, Geological museum at University of Hong Kong, China.
The Stephen Hui Geological Museum is a geological collection at the University of Hong Kong housing approximately 10,000 specimens. The collection spans fossils from China, minerals, and rock samples displayed across four exhibition galleries.
The museum was established in 2009 after Dr. Stephen Hui donated his mineral collection to the university. This donation marked the beginning of Hong Kong's first geological institution dedicated to public education and research.
The displays feature rock and mineral arrangements that show how these specimens form in different natural settings, helping visitors see connections between geology and the world around them.
The museum is located in the James Hsioung Lee Building and welcomes visitors on weekdays with no entry fee. It is best to check specific opening hours before visiting, as these may vary seasonally or change without notice.
The collection includes specimens from different regions around the world, not only from China. This makes the institution a window to global geology despite being established at a local university.
