Hong Kong Maritime Museum

The Hong Kong Maritime Museum, at Central Pier 8 in the Central and Western District of Hong Kong Island, showcases the maritime history of the South China coast and Hong Kong's role in it. It is run by Hong Kong's international shipping community, with Tung Chee-hwa, Vice-Chairman of the CPPCC, as honorary patron and Joost Schokkenbroek as director. The museum first opened on September 8, 2005 at Murray House in Stanley Plaza, Stanley, and reopened at Central Pier 8 on February 26, 2013 after its relocation was completed.
