We stayed in Kowloon at the Hotel Icon, probably the best hotel I have ever stayed in. If you stay in Kowloon near the Harbour or a Metro stop its pretty convenient for everywhere.

The museum have guided tours during the day that are free. We did one and it was very informative and better than reading the captions on the displays. You can get the details from their website.

It's confusing a lot of people. The renovation is still at the planning stage. The museum is business as usual. It still closes Tuesdays though.

We stayed at the Hotel Icon, so we just walked over. Since you're staying near the airport, a cab ride would be around $200 HKD. Uber is available at very competitive rates and most with very clean vehicles and very helpful and friendly drivers. We had used Uber extensively during our 2 week stay. As for the museum, we were waved in at no charge! It was free to roam throughout the Permanent Exhibits. There may be a very nominal $7 HKD fee for Special Exhibits. That's less than a US dollar. The museum has a web site that will give you even more precise details. Have fun!

Если вы из Молдавии, то, наверное, понимаете, по-русски? Гонконг очень дорогой город. Отели стоят недешево. Мы бронировали отель за пол-года до поездки со скидками. Обычно стоимость небольшого двухместного номера в нормальной гостинице недалеко от метро колеблется от 80 до 4000 долларов США. Мы брали за 85$ номер недалеко от пирсов Стар Фэрри. Это практически центр. А по поводу экскурсий и музеев, то многие музеи бесплатны для посещения, а то, что платно, достаточно дорого. В Гонконг нужно брать много денег, иначе путешествие может превратиться в ежедневные расчёты, как бы не остаться без копейки))))

Hi, The HK Museum of Art opposite the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui is closed. But this is the HK Museum of History and Culture. It was fully open when I visited it ten days ago.

You can take the bus (A21) from the airport and get off at the 18th stop (Hong Kong Science Museum) which is just next to Hong Kong Museum of History. :)

Get off the MTR at Jordan AND walk EAST ON Austin road 3 long blocks. You will run into the corner of it. Now look for the front door entrance. Check this fact. Wednesday's are free then pay for the extra exhibit on Pompaiei. Plan at least 3 hrs. Eat lunch inside. You will love the waiters in training. They are special needs girls AND boys. DON'T skip the gift shop. Take a picture on the " mosaic" steps which advertise the Pompan exhibit.

The museum is free on Wednesdays. On other days, just turn up and pay at the door. The museum is well worth the effort, although the catering in the cafe is very sub-standard. Plenty of other eateries a short walk away.

We did not need to check any bags. I suggest that you ring ahead and ask. It may depend on the size of your case as to the level of "safety"
