About the Tung Wah Museum Established in 1911, Tung Wah Museum was declared a monument by the Hong Kong Government on Nov 12, 2010 for its high historical value. The museum was formerly the Main Building of Kwong Wah Hospital and was a single-storey building at that time. In 1919, it was converted to a 2-storey building to ease the acute demand for hospital beds. Due to termite infestation to the timber roof structure, major repair works to the Main Hall were carried out in 1947. The stone tablet recording this restoration project is found on the façade. The entire old complex of Kwong Wah Hospital underwent a thorough reconstruction in 1958 with only the isolated Main Hall Building being reserved as a historical building. In 1970, the centenary year for Tung Wah, the then Board of Directors renamed it “Tung Wah Museum”, thus opening a new page for Tung Wah to collect its archives and valuable relics in a systematic manner. |
