Exhibition and Film Show Series
"Counting the Days" attempts to connect various underprivileged groups who have been marginalised and are in a state of waiting because of different reasons. Through workshops, sharing of stories, creative works and discussion, artists collaborate and create artworks with different groups, employing different visual media to organise and present their stories. The collaborators also try to make macroscopic inquiries into politics, economics and social connections, as well as the impact of the above to the individuals, families and communities as a way to dissect into their co-existing present moment. The exhibition demonstrates the everyday life of various communities, including moments of their stay in Hong Kong, their departure and return to their hometowns, so that the audience can get a glimpse of the details and feelings of their day-to-day living, thus identify a path to communicate with each other.

The legend of Bruce Lee's life is intertwined with his confidence and charisma as well as a personal background that married East and West.
Bruce Lee passed away 45 years ago, but his spirit lives on. In collaboration with the Bruce Lee Foundation of the US, the Hong Kong Heritage Museum has gathered together more than 600 items of Bruce Lee memorabilia from local and overseas collectors to create an exhibition that looks at Bruce Lee not only as a film star and martial artist, but also as a cultural phenomenon from a more comprehensive, in-depth and independent perspective. Visitors will be able to gain a greater insight into his achievements and contributions as well as his significance in popular culture, as the exhibition takes a new angle in presenting the legend of Bruce Lee.

A Glimpse of Tsui's Collection (Phases 1 and 2)
The late Dr T. T. Tsui had invited his friend, famous artist Huang Yongyu to visit his first private museum The Tsui Museum in Hong Kong and gifted Huang a copy of the collection catalogue as souvenir. When the artist looked through the catalogue, he was captivated by nine lively antique potteries with a sense of humor among the many treasures. They inspired him to create an album for them as a return of the friendship with Dr Tsui.
The name of this album, A Glimpse of Tsui's Collection, is a metaphor of the huge collection of Dr Tsui, which means this album reflects only a fraction of his marvelous amount of treasures.
The phase 1 exhibition displays the album and seven precious funerary potteries from the Han and Tang dynasties. Being evidence of the lavish burials, they reflect the prevailing social customs and livelihoods. With the album as the prelude, the exhibition demonstrates the interaction between paintings and artefacts, and the sincere friendship between the collector and the artist.
The Heritage Museum collaborated with The Tsui Art Foundation again to launch phase 2 exhibition in which fine works of the applied arts are featured. Foremost among them are two complete sets of porcelain Month Cups made in the imperial kiln for Emperor Kangxi. Each set consists of twelve cups made of eggshell porcelain, each cup painted with a flower of the month and accompanied by a poem. Other exhibits include jade carvings and accessories, some of which were kept by Dr Tsui in his office as personal favourites. Also featured are textile panels and wooden objects with semi-precious stones inlay. The Heritage Museum also features from the museum collection items of jade and gold to complement the display.

The Government announced in 2017 the "Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Hong Kong" (the Representative List), which covers 20 items of high cultural value and with an urgent need for preservation.
Following the thematic exhibition entitled "The Oral Legacies: Intangible Cultural Heritage of Hong Kong Exhibition" launched during 2016 and 2017, the Intangible Cultural Heritage Office has staged another exhibition - "The Oral Legacies Series II: the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Hong Kong" which the previous exhibition featured the ten national ICH items, the latest one focuses on ten other new items that have been incorporated into the Representative List. They include items with significant values of arts, history and craftsmanship, such as nanyin (southern tunes), the sewing techniques of Hong Kong-style cheongsam and kwan kwa wedding costume, the paper crafting technique, and the bamboo theatre building technique. Packed with the local colours, Hong Kong-style milk tea making technique is also inscribed. Other items on the Representative List maintain and strengthen the community, and establish the community's cultural identity. They are spring and autumn ancestral worship of clans, the Tin Hau Festival in Hong Kong, Mid-Autumn Festival - the Pok Fu Lam fire dragon dance, the Taoist ritual tradition of the Zhengyi school, as well as sek pun (basin feast). The exhibition strives to deepen the public's knowledge in these ICH items of Hong Kong.
