Hong Kong is losing its places, trades and rituals faster than they can be recorded: the dai pai dong, the neon signs, the tea cafés where generations met. Hong Kong XR Museum preserves them as immersive exhibits, so anyone, anywhere, can step back inside.

Working with historians, artists and educators, we rebuild these disappearing pieces of Hong Kong in augmented and virtual reality, pair them with researched, bilingual stories, and bring them to the diaspora through pop-up exhibits with community associations, libraries and cultural fairs.

So far, that’s 20+ immersive exhibits, 125,000 digital interactions and 10,000+ in-person visitors across 10 cities in the US, Canada and Australia.

Each exhibit takes weeks to months to make, and our team is entirely volunteer. Your gift pays for the 3D modelling, research and hosting behind the next reconstruction, and for the travelling kit that brings it to a new city. Above all, it helps keep Hong Kong’s memory alive for the people who left, and for those who come after.
