The Museum is formerly known as the Lei Yue Mun Fort, which was the most formidable fortifications in the territory built more than 100 years ago. It was also an important battlefield during the Battle for Hong Kong in 1941. Today it has been revitalized to preserve and present our 600-year history of coastal defence. We sincerely hope that you would make a visit to the Museum to appreciate artifacts and relics, and to learn history through enjoyment in a relaxed environment.
