Notable Cases present a selection of Hong Kong’s landmark crime cases from the past. They are showcased in short films that help bring the shocking scenes back to life and enable us to understand how the detectives persisted in solving each case.
About the Museum
In 1964, the Police Historical Records Committee was set up to implement the museum project and to appeal for donations of artefacts related to the Force. The appeal was well received by serving and retired officers and their families.
The Police Headquarters was expanded in 1976, and 50 square metres of space had been allocated for the Museum. However, this was found to be inadequate. In 1982, the Museum rented a larger unit at the Tai Sang Commercial Building in Wan Chai as a temporary site. In 1984, the Government approved the redevelopment of the former Wan Chai Gap Police Station at Coombe Road, the Peak, with a total area of 570 square metres, as a permanent location for the Police Museum. Upon completion of the restoration, the new Police Museum was officially opened to the public on 25 November 1988.
The revitalisation of the Police Museum commenced in mid-2020. The revitalised Museum once again opened to the public in September 2022 with a new look.
