About Us
The University of Hong Kong Museums Group is a new initiative offering Hong Kong schools (at the primary and secondary levels) guided tours of four museums on HKU campus (see The Group), with specially designed educational materials and activities adapted to each visit objective, age group and school’s preference (see Visit Options below). The visits will cover much of your school’s curriculum and are interdisciplinary in nature, with learning materials and tours designed by world experts in the arts and sciences.
