Redoubt

As the core structure of the Museum, the Redoubt is restored and covered with a specially designed tensile structure. There are two levels in the Redoubt, the lower level being the permanent exhibition galleries staging the standing exhibition '600 Years of Coastal Defence in Hong Kong'. The upper level is the thematic exhibition galleries. A children's corner is set up at this level which allows children to learn in a relaxed and playful environment. A gift shop is located near the entrance of the Redoubt, offering a selection of books and souvenirs.

The cafeteria and toilet facilities are housed in a purposely-built block to the east of the Redoubt. Visitors may enjoy a snack and a fine view of the Victoria Harbour here after viewing the exhibition.
