The Muse Fest HK, stepping into its 3rd year, thus set "Rippling" as the theme with an aim of linking different public museums and visitors together to keep the vibration extending wider and further.

Museum goers all have their own unique museum experience. It may come from the encounter of an artwork, a relic that could tell a story or an idea-igniting scientific invention, which is just like a pebble that is casted into their mind and created beautiful ripples. Maybe it is that kind of resonant effects that attract them to keep coming back to the museums.

The Hong Kong Museum of History will organise the following activities:

"Travelling with Curators" Talk Series Strolling in Three Cities

Every city has its own story that is well written in her streets. Strolling in the streets around a city is just like reading the stories of the history, livelihood, culture and art between lines of the book of the city. Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Macao, closely situated together, each has her uniquely fascinating story due to the differences in their development and history. If you are interested in exploring more about their stories, come and join the curators from the Shenzhen Museum, Macao Museum and the Hong Kong Museum of Art for a stroll in the streets of the three cities.

Film Crossover Series: Film x History: Meeting Dr Sun + Sharing Session

In order to pay the class fees, two students in poverty fight with their own plan to steal the bronze Sun Yat-sen statue sitting in the school's warehouse and sell it to the metal-scrap dealer for money. Director of the film, Yee Chih-yen, tells a deceptively simple story that describes the beauty and bitterness of youth. The film screening will specially be held in the Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum, where a bronze statue of Dr Sun is situated. The statue depicts Dr Sun as a young man full of ambition and vitality during his student days. Through a sharing session by the Assistant Curator of the museum, audiences will be able to re-visualise Dr Sun's story during his stay in Hong Kong.
Venue: White Hall, Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum
