Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change, Environmental education museum at Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
The Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change is an environmental education museum on the campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, dedicated to communicating climate science through interactive exhibitions. The galleries use multimedia displays and hands-on exhibits to present research findings about environmental changes in an accessible way.
The museum was founded through an initiative of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, with the aim of raising public awareness of climate science and environmental issues. It was built in partnership with the Chinese University of Hong Kong, which has embedded it within its research activities.
The museum takes its name from the Hong Kong Jockey Club, which funded its creation. Inside, visitors can see how local environmental concerns are connected to global conversations about climate, through displays that draw on research from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
The museum sits on the university campus and is reached through the Yasumoto International Academic Park entrance. It operates on a limited schedule, so checking opening hours before visiting is a good idea.
The museum houses a Polar Gallery containing materials collected during field research in Arctic, Antarctic and high-altitude mountain environments. This means visitors can encounter objects from some of the most remote places on Earth without leaving the city.
