Jockey Club Lei Yu Mun Plus, Cultural museum in Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong.
Jockey Club Lei Yu Mun Plus is a museum inside a former school building in this port neighborhood, telling local history through photographs, objects, and written records. The space displays how earlier residents made their living through different trades and what changes transformed the area over time.
The museum occupies the former Hoi Bun School, a vacant seaside school building of 7,500 square feet that the Kowloon Federation of Associations Social Service Fund revitalised for the project. The Jockey Club Lei Yue Mun Plus opened on 18 November 2011, with the opening ceremony led by Fanny Law, Carrie Lam and Ko Po-ling.
The collection reveals how residents of Lei Yue Mun earned their living through fishing, small-scale manufacturing, and trade across the generations. Objects on display and photographs show the daily routines and social bonds that held this harbor community together.
The museum is near MTR Yau Tong station and takes about 15 minutes to reach on foot, passing through the harbor-side neighborhood. The space is small and easily explored without planning, though checking ahead for workshops or temporary exhibits can help you make the most of your visit.
