In 1996, it was converted into the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences, mainly introducing the history of medical development in Hong Kong. As such, the museum focuses on the history of Hong Kong's battle against the plague. However, if one is not particularly interested in the history of medicine, the content might be a bit boring. The basement exhibition hall has some old medical instruments that are quite interesting. The museum's architecture is very attractive, being one of the few remaining early 20th-century buildings in Hong Kong. In addition to using the architectural style of the Edwardian era in Britain, it also incorporates many elements of tropical regions: balconies, windows to enhance air circulation. The highly popular cultural and creative products are indeed very attractive
