Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences
Museums / Galleries, Western
Fodor's Review:
Brush up on traditional treatments at the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences. The least morbid and most enlightening exhibits compare Chinese and western medical practices and show Chinese medicines of both animal and plant origin. Elsewhere dusty displays of old medical equipment send macabre thrills up your spine. Reaching this museum is a healthy experience in itself: you pant up several blocks' worth of stairs to the Edwardian building it's in. The cheat's way of getting here is on the Midlevels Escalator: alight at Caine Road and walk west four or five blocks to Ladder Street. The museum is just down the first flight of stairs, on the left.

After a fair climb up Ladder st from the Man Mo Temple, this museum was a little bit of a let down. Whilst a worthy attempt to document the role of the Bacteriological Institute set up after the plague struck HK in the early 20th Century, the museum was full of static displays of only mild interest.
