Views sought: The Museum of History will conduct two consultation forums to collect public views on the Sun Yat-sen Museum.

The Museum of History will conduct two consultation forums to collect public views on the Sun Yat-sen Museum.

 

They will be held today and October 14 from 6.30pm at the Museum of History's lecture hall. Admission is limited to 140, on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

In February 2004, the Government acquired Kom Tong Hall, an historic building on Castle Road in Central, and plans to convert it into the Sun Yat-sen Museum.

 

Featuring Dr Sun's life history and revolutionary career, the museum will focus on his involvement in Hong Kong' s political, social and economic arenas.

 

Renovation works will start in September for completion in December next year. The opening is scheduled for early 2007.
