About us
Hong Kong XR Museum is an online exhibit missioned to preserve the disappearing cultures of Hong Kong. Through in-depth study of old objects and architecture, the curator hopes to bring back the Hong Kong spirit that we cherish the most using immersive technology.
Take history as a mirror. Build the future from the past.
Objectives
-
Preserve the disappearing cultures and undertold stories of Hong Kong in the metaverse
-
Promote Hong Kong Culture Overseas
-
Strengthen and prolong Hong Konger identity and diaspora by revisiting the values and spirit of Hong Kong in the metaverse
Some backgrounds
-
Many colonial and indigenious cultures are becoming lost as control over freedom of speech and education in Hong Kong is tightened
-
More Hong Kongers are immigrating to different areas of the world. There is a need to reinforce Hong Konger identity so it doesn’t go extinct.
-
Loss of freedom of press is making grassroots Hong Konger voices even harder to be heard
