Stephen Hui Geological Museum

一般信息

About us

Located on the campus of the University of Hong Kong as part of the Department of Earth Sciences, the Stephen Hui Geological Museum recently opened in January 2009 as the first and only geological museum in Hong Kong. Its establishment has been made possible through the continuous support and generous donation of the family of the late Dr Stephen Sze Fun Hui, a mining engineer, geologist, scholar and philanthropist.

Mission

The mission of the museum is to provide an attractive object-based learning facility for understanding the nature and evolution of our planet by visitors of all ages and to inspire an appreciation of the dynamic natural world of Earth Sciences, its research, and its applications to our daily life.
