Stephen Hui Geological Museum

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.

Dr. Stephen Hui, a mining and geological engineer, donated his mineral and rock collection to the University of Hong Kong with the aim of founding a geological museum. After his death in 1989, his family continued the project: in 2005 the Department of Earth Sciences received a university development fund, and the museum opened on 16 January 2009 as Hong Kong's first geological museum.

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 occupies the ground and first floors of the James Hsioung Lee Building (厲樹雄科學館) on the University of Hong Kong main campus in Pok Fu Lam. It opens Monday to Friday from 1:00 to 6:00 pm; mornings are reserved for guided group tours, which require booking. It is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays and university holidays. The 30-seat audiovisual room is part of the guided tour.

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.
