Organized by the Hong Kong Museum of History and the
Shanghai Bank Museum
As two of the world's most advanced financial centres,
Shanghai and Hong Kong are home to sophisticated financial
institutions and extensive transaction networks. Although
the banking industries in Shanghai and Hong Kong have
been shaped by different historical circumstances, early
native banks in Shanghai and Hong Kong maintained business
relationships with each other, while a number of domestic
and foreign-funded banks also developed their business
in both cities at the same time. Featuring some 200
sets of selected memorabilia from the Shanghai Bank
Museum and Hong Kong, including signboards, banknotes,
receipts, savings boxes and books, bank equipment and
souvenirs, as well as the reconstruction of a Shanghai
native bank and a savings office of People's Bank of
China, this exhibition tells the development of banking
industry in these two financial centres, how the local
co-operation between them complemented their development
and how a modern banking industry was able to thrive
and prosper in both cities.
