PMQ Relives Fond Memories of Old Times with "OLD TOWN WALKABOUT" Interactive Exhibition

31 Jan 2018

HONG KONG, Jan. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PMQ proudly presents a brand new interactive exhibition -- Dubbed "OLD TOWN WALKABOUT", the new exhibition focuses on the scenes and neighbourhood of Central and Sheung Wan area in the 50's and 60's, and relives the daily lives of the yesteryear through vivid illustrations, real-life props and trick art. Visitors can step back into the old days and immerse themselves in scenes including traditional barber stall and lion dance parade using nostalgic props. The exhibition is currently open until 31 March 2018 at PMQ. Two thematic booths, Traditional Barber Stall and Lion Dance Parade, are being set up at the verandahs outside S506 and H502 respectively, while Time Warp trick art installation will be showcased starting from mid-February. The exhibition is open for free from 7am to 11pm daily during the exhibition period.

Lion Dance Parade: Lion dance, as a traditional performance, played a crucial role in the lives of old Hong Kong. In Asian culture, lion dance symbolises good luck and fortune, therefore it can be seen alongside the thunderous sound of firecrackers in various festive celebrations. Visitors are invited to experience the festive atmosphere by mimicking the lion dance and big Buddha using the props!
