Hong Kong’s first 3D museum – inspired by similar attractions in South Korea and Malaysia – has opened its doors to the public in Tsim Sha Tsui. The 10,000sq ft (929sq m) HK3D Museum houses more than 70 different exhibitions categorised into different zones. These include paintings based on Hong Kong’s iconic scenery, nostalgic landscapes depicting street hawkers and more.
“In terms of attractions in Hong Kong, we don’t have all that many,” said Winston Lo, the museum’s strategy and finance director, speaking to Hong Kong Timeout. “Some of the main ones we have are Disneyland, Ocean Park, Ngong Ping 360 and Madame Tussauds. There’s still a lot of room to develop the tourist attractions that Hong Kong has to offer.
“The other 3D museums don’t have art that depicts local culture. We want to emphasise the fact that we want local culture infused in our artwork. For example, we have one [exhibit] of the Tsing Ma Bridge and we have one of the old airport in Kowloon City. The planes were so near to the ground that you could almost touch them.Now we have one of our exhibits showing just that.”
The visitor attraction also includes a ‘3D-experience zone’ where visitors can enjoy an assortment of simulations including an imitation starry sky, plus optical illusions ranging from a mirror maze to an infinity tunnel.
