In addition, the exhibition will also introduce the utensils and setup of a Chinese tea ceremony in an interactive manner through the installation Tea Appreciation Space: My Proposal for Tea Ceremony, based on the theme of tea-tasting activities that were often seen in ancient literati gatherings. We have prepared the online version of the interactive programme for everyone to try and experience the charm of Chinese tea culture.

About the Museum
Specialising in the collection, study and display of tea ware, the branch museum at Flagstaff House features at its core the generous donations of Dr K.S. Lo (1910-1995) , which include many fine examples of the famous Yixing teapots.
Built in the 1840s, Flagstaff House originally served as the office and residence of the Commander of the British Forces in Hong Kong. It was converted to the Museum of Tea Ware in 1984, with a new wing, The K.S. Lo Gallery, added in 1995. Alongside its exhibitions, the Museum holds regular demonstrations, tea gatherings and lecture programmes to promote ceramic art and Chinese tea drinking culture.
