Reflecting Hong Kong's continuing economic prosperity, its citizens are becoming more affluent and educated as well as more widely travelled and socially conscious. They have developed an appreciation for history, culture, art and the quality of life. And a growing number of them are discovering that collecting, conserving and studying objects of intrinsic value often provide satisfaction and enlightenment that go beyond what we find in our traditional places of education and work.


Featuring selections from four different collections - Alan Chan's export silverware, Jennings Ku's visiting card cases, Jakie Leung's depression glassware and Peter Chu's Chinese hair ornaments - "The Fun of Collecting" exhibition showcases around 1,000 articles of historical and contemporary significance. Collected for pure enjoyment or out of simple curiosity, they illustrate the collectors' distinctive tastes as well as the immense joy we can all share in the art and fun of collecting.
