Hong Kong News-Expo is a museum dedicated to the history and significance of the news media in Hong Kong. It is housed inside the former Bridges Street Market at No. 2, Bridges Street in Central District, Hong Kong Island. The heritage building was among the first batch of public markets built after the end of World War II and was opened in 1953. The building sits partly on the former site of the American Congregational Mission Preaching Hall, where Dr Sun Yat-sen, founder of the Republic of China, was baptised in 1884. In 2013, under Batch III of the Revitalising Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme, the Journalism Education Foundation Hong Kong Limited was granted the right to revitalise the property into Asia’s first education facility with news as the main theme.
The market’s main staircase, poultry scalding room and several market stores of historical significance have been preserved. A new lift has been built to provide barrier-free access to the adjacent streets. The playground on the first floor of the market was remodeled into an exhibition and multi-purpose area.
The museum was officially opened by Mrs Carrie Lam, Chief executive of HKSAR.
We are proud to continue to assist and help the museum.
