Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum
Hongkong
The museum features two permanent exhibitions containing historical artifact and audiovisual programs that educates viewers about the reform movements and revolutionary activities that happened in the late 19th century.
The name of the museum itself suggests who it features. Clearly, this museum highlights the life and career of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, a Hong Kong revolutionary.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen is ambitious and a critical thinker in his youth. He studied both Chinese and English for the purposes of gaining knowledge on how to save his country. These are the reasons why a bronze statue of his image has been built in the museum.
The architecture of the building is of Greek-style, with granite columns, stained-glass windows, and balcony wall tiles. This preserved building is previously called Kom Tong Hall, a residence of a previous tycoon.
