Discover the roots of Hong Kong at this revamped museum. An essential cultural stop on any queer traveler's gay map of Tsim Sha Tsui.
Step off the neon-lit streets of Tsim Sha Tsui and into the soul of the city at the Hong Kong Museum of History. A cornerstone of any comprehensive gay map, this museum offers queer travelers a profound look at the cultural evolution of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. Having recently undergone a major transformation, the flagship exhibition 'The Hong Kong Story' reopened in early 2026, featuring ten immersive zones that journey from prehistoric roots to the city’s emergence as a global power. While the museum focuses on broader social history, LGBTQ+ visitors will find deep resonance in the stories of resilience and the 'East meets West' fusion that defines the local identity. For gay men and queer adventurers looking to understand the backdrop of the city’s 1991 decriminalization and its vibrant modern activism, these galleries provide essential context. Wander through recreated 19th-century street scenes, board a vintage double-decker tram, and explore the 'International Metropolis' zone to see how this diverse hub became the inclusive destination it is today. Located just a short stroll from the many gay bars and saunas of Kowloon, it’s the perfect daytime cultural fix before the queer nightlife kicks into gear.
