Po Leung Kuk Museum

Po Leung Kuk Museum, History museum in Wan Chai District, Hong Kong.

The Po Leung Kuk Museum is housed in the organization's main headquarters on Leighton Road and displays its work across several exhibition spaces. The building also contains archives and conservation rooms where historical materials and objects are stored and cared for.

The organization was founded in 1878 when local Chinese citizens asked Governor Sir John Pope Hennessy to create an institution to combat child trafficking. This founding moment shows how the community responded to a serious social problem of that time.

The museum displays how social welfare work in Hong Kong has changed since the 1800s, shown through documents and photographs that tell this story. Visitors can see how the organization adapted its work to help different groups over time.

The museum is open Monday to Saturday; the Old Hall and Exhibition Hall are open to the public, while the Archives Office, Research Room and conservation rooms are accessible on request. Admission is free. The museum is housed in the Main Building of Po Leung Kuk's headquarters at 66 Leighton Road, Causeway Bay.

The museum opened as a heritage room on 8 March 1984 on the second floor of the Welfare Building, now called Chong Kai Ching Building. It moved to the Main Building in 1996 and was renamed Po Leung Kuk Museum on 23 May 2002. Its conservation work won the Community Heritage Merit Award at the 2001 Hong Kong Heritage Awards.
