Vision, Mission & Values
Vision
To provide quality museum services commensurate with Hong Kong's development as a world-class city and events capital.
Mission
- To preserve and promote Hong Kong's historical and cultural heritage through collecting, conserving, processing, studying and displaying cultural objects related to the archaeology, history, ethnography and natural history of Hong Kong and its hinterland.
- To enhance public awareness and understanding of the history and culture of Hong Kong with a view to enriching our cultural lives and strengthening social cohesion.
- To promote public awareness and understanding of world history and culture with a view to expanding our global cultural vision, which draws on the essence of other cultures to develop Hong Kong into an international cultural metropolis.
- To foster better awareness of greater interest in museum activities through a varied and balanced programme of exhibitions, educational activities and publications so as to encourage community support and involvement through sponsorship, joint presentations, local and overseas museum co-operation and docent activities, and to take appropriate measures to popularize museum activities and more importantly, to create value for today's society.
- To be a learning platform to support the notion of "life-long learning" through close co-operation and interaction with the community at large, the education and cultural sectors in particular.
- To promote cultural tourism among visitors from the mainland and overseas alike by introducing to them Hong Kong's historical and cultural heritage.
- To enhance interactive and participatory learning by putting digital technology into the hands of museum users, which is just a first step to interpret the role of digital artefacts in museums of the 21st century.
