About the exhibition:

Swire opened the doors of its first Hong Kong office on 1st May 1870. Over more than a century and a half, the group has grown and evolved with the city, pioneering businesses that have helped put Hong Kong on the map as a global commercial hub. Today, Swire is a leading player in Hong Kong's property, aviation and beverage sectors. As a developer and landlord, as an airline operator, manufacturer and retailer - as well as an employer - the Swire group's operations touch the lives of most Hong Kong people.

 

There are 6 themed zones in this family-friendly exhibition, namely "Early Entrepreneurship", "Refining Industry", "Maritime Evolution", "Transforming Communities", "Building an Aviation Hub", and "Realising Potential". This exhibition aims to take visitors along on Swire's 150-year journey and evoke memories of the public. With the hands-on experiences, historic artefacts, and fun photo spots, you can have a better understanding and involvement in this Swire journey.
