Oi! is housed in the former Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, which stood on the waterfront when it was opened in 1908. This Grade II historic building is the only building remaining from the original North Point coastline of the 1930s before reclamation. The link between Oi! and the sea has long been established.

The coastline witnesses the changes of the times and the development of the red-brick complex of Oi! in the community. Local artists Leung Chi-wo, Zheng Bo, and local art group MAP Office (Laurent Gutierrez and Valérie Portefaix) are invited to response to the environment and location of the venue, thus creating artworks to tell stories with the elements of a city by the sea.

A Chinese Ghost Story, God of Gamblers, Once Upon a Time in China, In the Mood for Love… Do these film titles immediately remind you of certain melodies? Although we usually say we "watch" a film in the cinema, but films are indeed as much heard as they are seen - even if we are not referring to dialogues. Romantic background music coupled with pounding heartbeats may fill a scene with sweetness that goes beyond any form of verbal communications. Welcome to the cinematic world of this exhibition that resorts to the auditory rather than the visual, and experience the magic of film scores and sound effects.

Friendship is the close relation between two persons as determined by time and place. The close friendship of Chao Shao-an and Yang Shanshen, two masters of the Lingnan School of painting, brought about not only the meeting of minds but also led to the creation of interesting works of art.

Both Chao and Yang settled in Hong Kong in the 1940s, and they often met together in the Lingnan Art Studio, and they have spent their leisure and created joint paintings. When they made friends with the owner of the Yuet Tung China Works, Tso Wing-shui, they tried their hands at painting on porcelain using their own artistic style. This exhibition features, in phases, more than 40 pieces of their joint works on paper and on pocelain created in 1950s along with the products made by the Yuet Tung China Works from 1960s to 1980s. Visitors will see how the two masters carried out their artistic dialogue in these works, and how they brought their own signature style from works on paper into works on porcelain.

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 46 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.

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 which featured the ten national ICH items, 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 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.
