In fact this is a well laid-out, clean, attractive (and free!) museum in one of Hong Kong's oldest western-style buildings, "Greek Revival style", and what a HQ it must have been for the military commanders who lived and worked there almost from the dawn of colonial Hong Kong's history until the British pulled out. The thing about it now--which will... More

I went with my 11 year old daughter., who also found it interesting. The museum is not large and consists of 2 floors. The bottom floor to devoted to the history of tea making from the early dynasties around 600 to more modern times. It has some artefacts on display and posters of how tea is/was made in the various... More

If you're in Hong Kong park its worth a look in the Museum of Tea Ware but I wouldn't make a special trip to see it. The building is beautiful. The museum is quite small but my overseas friends always liked the gift shop where they could pick up packets of tea for their friends back home. More

I stumbled upon this when I was roaming through Hong Kong park. It is in a pretty house and houses an interesting small museum on tea...with a focus on Chinese Tea. It is a small exhibition. But, it is unique and informative. Overall it is very good, especially, considering it is free. More

The Flagstaff House was an unexpected highlight of a Hong Kong Visit. I suspect most visitors pass up this building located inside the beautiful Hong Kong Park city park. But in 45 minutes you'll see artistic creativity and learn more than you could ever imagine learning about tea. A number of small galleries take you through a history of teasets... More

Great small museum set in lovely park on the way up to the Peak Train (or whatever it is called). The exhibit provides lots of information and videos in English language and the atmosphere is restful after busy days in Hong Kong. More

There are eight rooms with displays of tea ware, information about the different types of tea, how tea is processed, different tea preparation methods, etc. – all related to CHINESE tea drinking...
