Hong Kong Space Museum – Basically Takes You Out If This World
The Hong Kong Space Museum is situated in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. The museum is dedicated to space science and astronomy. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Hong Kong Government runs the Space Museum. The Hong Kong Space Museum resides beside the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
The conceptualization of the Hong Kong Space Museum began in 1961, when the Urban Council of Hong Kong brought forth the idea to start a planetarium in Hong Kong. Construction work on the Hong Kong Space Museum started in 1977 and was formally opened to the public on the 8th of October 1980. The architecture of the Hong Kong Space Museum features a dome fashioned in the shape of an egg. This dome encompasses and area of about eight thousand square meters. The Hong Kong Space Museum is arguably one of the most renowned landmarks in the country.
The Hong Kong Space Museum consists of two wings, namely the western wing and the eastern wing. It is at the eastern wing that the domed structure resides and can be considered to be the center of the museum. Underneath this egg shaped dome resides the Hall of Science, Stanley Ho Space Theater, and many offices and workshops. The western wing of the museum comprises of the Lecture Hall, the Gift Shop, the Hall of Astronomy and the offices. The Hall of Astronomy and the Hall of Space Science are the two exhibition halls at the museum. The Hall of Astronomy is on the first floor and the Hall of Space Science is on the ground floor of the museum.
For a stay at a nearby Hotel in Hong Kong, one can try Hotel Jen located close to a number of local attractions.

Each shot pans and lingers over the richly colored pictures as unobtrusive narration in English, Fre… |

The images are mostly from the Hubble Space Telescope, along with some unique mosaics from several sources. The bigger your screen, the better for “plasma art” that could… |
