Maritime Museum, Hong Kong हङकङको समुन्द्री संग्रहालय !

Hong Kong Maritime Museum (Chinese: 香港海事博物館) is a non-profit educational institution funded by the international shipping community and the government in Hong Kong. It is located at Central Pier 8, Hong Kong. The museum was reopened to the public in February 2013.

The museum illustrates how China, Asia and the West have contributed through the ages to the development of boats, ships, maritime exploration and trade, and naval warfare. While concentrating on the South China coast and its adjacent seas, it also covers global trends and provides a comprehensive account of Hong Kong's growth and development as a major world port and maritime centre.

The museum includes semi-permanent and special exhibitions, interactive displays, educational events, café and a museum shop.

Hong Kong Maritime Museum - history has many stories to tell

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The history of Hong Kong – similarly to the whole Chinese history – is inseparably associated with the sea. Hong Kong Maritime Museum is one of the post prestigious museums of China, presenting the struggles of the Chinese against the sea. Among many exhibits a focus of attention is a historic scroll titled “Pacifying the South China Sea”. To bring the masterpiece closer to the visitors we added multimedia features to present it on a 360° screen. They spring the scroll to live with unique animations and sound effects. Considering the scale of the project and a unique character of the exhibit we worked closely with several foreign companies and as well as Chinese cultural units. The modern techniques and exemplary cooperation resulted in eliminating the display limits and made the scroll available to hundreds of visitors.

More about the project:

3-12-2013 The Works

Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto's images, begin in his mind, in his imagination. The concepts of real and fictional, time, memory and the transience of life are prominent. He uses a large format camera to make long exposures, sometimes the length of a movie in his Theatres series, or up to three hours for his Seascapes. Sugimoto was in Hong Kong two weeks ago for an Art and Museum Summit organized by the Asia Society. While he was here, he spoke of the artist as a consumer of the museum, and why he is often at odds with architects.
It isn't so difficult to become popular in the cyber world. A single post can make you a reputation overnight. Tse Sai Pei, whose real name is Jasmine Tse, became popular in the social media earlier this year. In January, she posted an illustration of a school girl at a desk. The girl is hardly a model student. She is hiding her mobile phone under her sweater and listening to music in class. The image quickly gathered views and Facebook likes. It also brought the artist many opportunities to publish the work in magazines and books. Now she is holding her first exhibition in Mingshi Gallery
At the Pearl Lam Gallery until 9th January is an exhibition by British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare. Its title Dreaming Rich might seem very relevant to many of us in Hong Kong. But the exhibition, for which he has created all new works relating to Hong Kong, isn't just about our fantasies of being rich, but a comment on our obsession with wealth at all costs.
John Thomson was born in Edinburgh in 1837, and grew up to build a formidable reputation as a geographer, traveller, and photographer. In fact, he was one of the first Western photographers to travel to Asia. His camera equipment was heavy and unwieldy, but it also produced very high quality images. During his ten years in Asia Thomson travelled to a number of countries, including Hong Kong, and captured priceless and often very human images of the times. Currently 70 of his photographs of Hong Kong and China are on show at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum.

Maritime Museum On Sharks and Humanity

“On Sharks and Humanity” will be exhibited this summer from the 28 June to 30 September 2017 at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum, co-curated by Parkview Arts Action, sponsored by Hong Kong Parkview, and in partnership with the international non-profit organization WildAid. This will be the fifth edition of a travelling exhibition that has previously been shown in Monaco, Moscow and Beijing to great acclaim, and is currently showing in Singapore till 26 June. Building on the momentum of the exhibition around the world, Hong Kong Maritime Museum aims to raise public awareness of shark conservation in Hong Kong and the Greater Pearl River Delta. Works by internationally renowned artists from China, Singapore and Taiwan such as Zheng Lu, Wang Guofeng, Li Jiwei, Hou Zhongying, and Fan Xiaoyan, are joined by new works from leading Hong Kong artists including Siu-Kee Ho and Peggy Chan, to form a multidisciplinary exhibition that informs and confronts audiences.

Hong Kong Maritime Museum – Presentation – Hong Kong – Audio Guide – MyWoWo Travel App

Hi, my name's Scott, and I'm your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I'd like to welcome you to one of the Wonders of the World: the Hong Kong Maritime Museum, or HKMM.
The museum first opened in 2005 in the Stanley neighborhood, but the 800-meter-square building was not large enough to contain the more than 1200 objects, so in 2013 it was moved to the splendid Pier 8 building on the Central Harbor Waterfront looking onto Victoria Harbor.
This extraordinary museum illustrates over 3000 years of history of sea transport and trade in Hong Kong, the South China Sea and the Pearl River Delta.
Since the very beginning, the development of Hong Kong has always been closely linked with the sea and the activities connected with it. Here in the museum, you'll discover that many Chinese ships set out from this port to trade in silk, porcelain and fine goods from the 8th century; you'll learn about the strong influence the British colonial power had on navigation from the 19th century, and the scourge that piracy was in the early 20th century...

31/1/2014 : The Pulse

This week, former governor Chris Patten in his only television interview during his current visit to Hong Kong, spoke to The Pulse. Among other things, he's here to open an exhibition at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum called Mapping Ming China's Maritime World -- The Selden Map and Other Treasures from the University of Oxford. He also gave his views on the progress of One Country Two Systems.

On 6th March, a district council meeting ended in a wave of arguments as Central and Western district councillor Ted Hui was carried out of a meeting by police. He had invited reporters and an assistant to film. Chairman Lee Chi-hang told reporters, whose details he had already demanded, that this was a closed door meeting.The reporters were asked to leave after most voted against their stay. The district council's standing orders do not contain guidelines on whether such meetings should be open to the public. Even if they involve allocation of public money.

Hong Kong Maritime Museum – Deck A – Hong Kong – Audio Guide – MyWoWo Travel App

On the third and last floor, Deck A, you'll find three fascinating sections linked to maritime technology, in which human ingenuity has succeeded in developing increasingly efficient, complex instruments.
Welcome to the Maritime Communications” exhibition.
We're all accustomed to being in constant touch with the rest of the world thanks to our phones – but try imagining what it must have been like for a sailor in the 19th century, setting out on a journey that would take him far from home for months at a time without ever being able to communicate with his family!
How was it possible to alert others to danger, to call for help or receive news before the advent of radios?
Thanks to human inventiveness, over the centuries people have come up with the most ingenious ways – using tools that might seem useless today – that for decades allowed for one of the most important aspects of life at sea: communication.

Now press pause and start again at the Navigation and Meteorology” exhibition...

Hong Kong Maritime Museum – Deck C Room C3 – Hong Kong – Audio Guide – MyWoWo Travel App

The Sea Bandits” exhibition, in room C3, focuses on piracy which, as you know, remains a huge problem in some areas of the world today.
For China, the worst period from this point of view was between the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th.
Can you imagine what it must have been like to organize shipping expeditions knowing that the waters of the South China Sea were infested with thousands of pirates?
These pirates, known as haidao”, were divided into fleets. The most fearsome were those captained by the terrible Guo Podai and Zhang Baozai; the latter alone had around 70,000 men under his orders!
These criminals did not just attack European galleons setting out from China with valuable cargo, or the junks of Chinese merchants. They also extorted money from the poor inhabitants of the villages along the coast, often kidnapping people and demanding ransom.
In the early 19th century, during the Qing dynasty, the government devoted a great deal of attention and publicity to combating piracy...

香港中環海事博物館深度遊-粵語解述2018 Hong Kong Maritime Museum

香港海事博物館Hong Kong Maritime Museum位於香港香港島中西區中環8號碼頭，展示南中國沿岸的航運歷史及香港從中所扮演的角色，由香港國際航運團體經營，由全國政協副主席董建華擔任榮譽贊助人，總監為韋持力。香港海事博物館於2005年9月8日於赤柱赤柱廣場美利樓開放，於2013年2月26日遷移至中環8號碼頭的工程完成後，再度開放。香港海事博物館由香港航運界熱心人士於2003年年底開始籌備興建，人士兩度邀請各界提供財政支持，獲得正面反應，合共82家公司參與了支持博物館開幕及首5年的營運開支；2005年9月8日，位於香港島赤柱美利樓地下的香港海事博物館正式開幕。由於展館位置並不適中，而且缺乏政府資助，博物館每年虧損達350萬港元。雖然博物館曾經舉辦兩次籌募活動，籌得相當經費作為場館建設及添置設備，使到該館以現有規模能夠營運至2012年年底，但是長遠而言面對財政壓力及展館用地等不明朗因素，博物館決定於2009年檢討海事博物館的前景，並且不排除於2010年8月31日租約期滿後結束營辦運作。為此，博物館於2008年1月11日提交意向書予民政事務局，並且要求政府產業署將中環碼頭8號碼頭（天星小輪碼頭）一幅面積約2,400平方米（原來規劃作為食肆及茶座用途）的地方批予香港海事博物館作為新址。由於香港海事博物館位於美利樓舊址的租約至2010年8月31日屆滿，中環及灣仔填海計劃亦需要幾年時間以完成，因此博物館計劃在2010年8月前能夠遷往新址。香港政府表示支持香港海事博物館繼續發展，認為該館與香港歷史博物館長期展覽的「香港故事」具有相輔相成的效果，表示將會與博物館就遷館事宜作討論。2010年4月，博物館公佈了新館設計概念，建議於中環8號碼頭下層甲板設立海事文化資源中心及辦公室，上層設有4座展覽廳，以介紹香港港口、中國海事文化及廣州海上貿易等；公眾觀景層則包括了禮品店、水上消閒活動展廳及香港渡輪主題展覽；屋頂觀景層則設有咖啡廳、海圖及領航展覽等。博物館又計劃於新址前的空地裝置紀念海事從業員的海上巨人號船錨作為地標。博物館其後向城市規劃委員會遞交改變土地用途申請，獲得批准，民政事務局向立法會成功申請撥款資助，博物館於2012年進行搬遷，預計於2013年1月月底開幕。搬遷完成後，博物館的面積由舊有的約800平方米大幅度增加至約4,400平方米，新增的設施包括了咖啡室及專題展覽廳等，後者可以租予其他團體舉行短期展覽或者其他活動，以拓闊其收入來源。為到搬遷及擴建計畫，博物館於2009年至2011年總共籌得約9千萬港元，並且成立專項基金；香港政府亦向博物館撥款了約1億2千萬港元作為支援。
