Is electricity visible? What is the significance of electricity to you, to society, and to the world?

Through collections of carefully selected artefacts, video clips, and interactive exhibits, this themed exhibition shows how CLP makes invisible electricity visible from social, historical, architectural, scientific, and environmental perspectives by experiential activities. 

This exhibition narrates the stories of Kadoorie businesses and charitable interests and the part they played in the post-war rehabilitation and development of Hong Kong.

It consists of five zones: 

• The Kadoorie Family – Connection with Hong Kong, “Kadoorie Hill” and war and recovery 
• Helping People Help Themselves – Kadoorie Agricultural Aid Association and the New Territories
• Powering Industrialisation – How electricity supply transformed Hong Kong’s economy
• Beyond Hospitality – The rise of tourism: aviation, The Peninsula Hotel and Peak Tram 
• The Hong Kong Heritage Project – Preserving history and promoting heritage awareness, find out more here

Thematic exhibitions relating to history, heritage and culture will be organised from time to time catering to a diverse audience.

Organised by the Intangible Cultural Heritage Office, this exhibition is presented in three sections with different local intangible cultural heritage items, including:

• Apparel and Footwear – Hong Kong cheongsam making technique and leather shoe making technique;
• Ornaments and Decorations – Wooden furniture crafting technique, patterned band weaving technique, karat gold jewellery making technique and jade carving technique;
• Words and Sounds – Movable-type printing technique, putting up huichun (spring scrolls), seal carving technique and nanyin (southern tunes).

The works made by masters and apprentices showcase the transmission of the local intangible culture.
