30th October 2025 – (Hong Kong) The Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum in Central will reopen to the public on 7th November following the completion of extensive maintenance and renovation works. Located within the historic Kom Tong Hall at 7 Castle Road, Mid-Levels, the museum will launch a special exhibition titled “From Healing Patients to Saving a Nation – Dr. Sun Yat-sen in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao” to mark its return.
The Kom Tong Hall, originally constructed in 1914 as the private residence of businessman Ho Kom-tong, represents an important architectural landmark.
