Details :

Asia Society Hong Kong Center is one of the few remaining colonial remnants of the Victoria Cantonment. The site was originally built by the British Army in the mid-19th century for explosives and ammunition production and storage. Among the four buildings, three of them are grade one historic buildings. Through conservation, restoration and adaptive re-use, this heritage site was transformed into a cultural, artistic and intellectual hub in Hong Kong and offers a variety of programs, including docent-led tours and educational activities.
