About the Museum
Specializing 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 teapot.
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 ceremic art and Chinese tea drinking culture.
