This museum occupies a knockout location in the Lei Yue Mun Fort (1887), which has sweeping views down to the Lei Yue Mun Channel and southeastern Kowloon. Exhibitions in the old redoubt cover Hong Kong’s coastal defence over six centuries. There’s a historical trail through the casemates, tunnels and observation posts almost down to the coast.
As you leave the MTR, follow the museum signs on Tung Hei Rd for about 15 minutes. Bus 85, which is accessible via exit A3 and runs along Shau Kei Wan Rd between North Point and Siu Sai Wan, stops on Tung Hei Rd outside the museum.
