Hong Kong Housing Authority Exhibition Centre, Urban planning museum in Ho Man Tin, Hong Kong, China
The Hong Kong Housing Authority Exhibition Centre was a museum housed on three floors that displayed public housing development through scale models, archival photographs, and interactive media installations. The exhibition traced how the city reshaped itself through large-scale residential construction programs.
The museum opened in July 2002 and documented the evolution of public housing from its earliest phases. It ceased operations permanently in March 2022 after serving visitors for two decades.
The exhibition space demonstrated the transformation of Hong Kong society through five decades of public housing initiatives and community development programs.
The museum was located on the fourth floor of Block 3 at the Hong Kong Housing Authority Headquarters and offered free admission to visitors. The location made it an accessible stop for anyone interested in learning about the city's residential development.
The centre displayed a large-scale diorama showing the exact locations of every public housing estate across Hong Kong's territory. This detailed map installation allowed visitors to grasp the enormous reach of residential construction in a single view.
