Hong Kong Museum of Medical
Sciences (香港醫學博物館) was established in 1996. It is located at 2 Caine
Lane, Mid-levels, Hong Kong Island (香港島半山堅巷2號). The museum is a 3-storey
British construction, with prominent reddish brown brick colour. After
renovation and maintenance, it retains its glory of the past. The museum
is very attractive, mainly because of its bright colour and
construction outlook of style different from its surroundings.
The
establishment of this museum is to preserve materials and tools related
to medical industry and its development in Hong Kong. It also arouses
the interest of general public about health and diseases.
