Hong Kong Museum of History wants your memories
One man's junk ... the Museum of History calls on Hong Kongers for memorabilia of the 1960s and 1970s
Queueing for water during the shortages of the 1960s is etched deep in the memories of Hong Kongers.

From street photographs to children’s books to piggy banks, the museum hopes to collect as many artifacts as they can to reflect the lives of people during this period of rapid urban development and population growth.
Already on display are photographs of events that influenced the lives of people from all strata of society, from the water shortages in the 1960s to the 1972 Clean Hong Kong campaign which spurred the popularity of mascot Laap Saap Chung.
To get a better idea of what the museum is looking for, check out the items on display in the main lobby or call the museum’s Urban and Oral History Unit at +852 2724 9087 or +852 2724 9035 before the month of June.
