The construction of the Swire Marine Discovery Centre officially commenced in December 2021 with a piglet-cutting ceremony.
Opening in 2022, the Swire Marine Discovery Centre is a new addition to the Hong Kong Maritime Museum. Located by the Central Harbourfront, it will provide the community with the unique opportunity to learn about Hong Kong’s maritime heritage and marine ecology through a pioneering fusion of History, Art and Science.
“One, we are focusing on history. Secondly, the museum is about art. And thirdly, before too long, the museum is also about science, (History) H, (Art) A, (Science) S.”
- Prof. Joost Schokkenbroek
