"Hollywood Road has long had a history rooted in the buying and selling of antiques. Now, one of the city’s greatest resident collectors, Peter Fung, has opened a 20,000-sqaure foot private museum devoted to showcasing his own personal collection, which includes 300-plus pieces from Ming and Quing dynasties and an assortment of jeweled powder boxes from the likes of Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier. Exhibitions will rotate twice a year, and unlike its traditional counterparts, visitors are encouraged to sit on and touch the items on display. "
Great collection of Ming and Ching dynasty furniture, and fantastic guided tour with detailed explanation of exhibits. We can also touch the exhibits which is usually not allowed in other museums. Really love the experience. Will definitely come back for new exhibitions.
Remember to book ahead; no walk in.

When we were there, the exhibition was 'The Blue Road: Mastercrafts from Persia'. Very detailed tour of a well-curated exhibition by our English speaking guide.
If ever in Hong Kong, plan ahead and request your hotel concierge to book an appointment to visit the museum and exhibition. Hopefully not there during weekend as the museum opens from Tuesday to Saturday. Before leaving, check out their compendium of Chinese furniture at the reception. Got a set, very good read and reference.

Stunning museum, with fantastically curated exhibits, detailed explanations and fantastic tours. Well worth the individual entrance fee. Great that you get to sit on and enjoy the furniture upstairs!

This private 3-story museum houses two exquisite collections - antique Chinese furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Chinese-inspired European vanities from the 19th and 20th century.
The former is one of the world's best. The precious collection is displayed through rotating themed exhibitions that change every 6 months, paired with museum pieces called in from world-class galleries all over the globe.
The museum itself is a stunning space; visits are by appointment only (book at least a day ahead) and by guided tour.

We really enjoyed the exhibit tour with Ben. He was very knowledgeable and informative. It was also nice to be able to interact with the pieces to get a better sense of how they were constructed.

A nice chinese heritage museum. It is a private one. Reservation is needed and the price is $200/head, quite an expansive one.
