  Can't believe this was free! Great, ENORMOUS museum. Do yourself a favor and skip through the geological and neolithic galleries to get to the awesome main feature areas - cultural history of HK and history of the opium wars & British colonial era. We came at the end of the day and spent about 2 hours, wish we had twice... More
