Curated by Mr. Edward Stokes and presented by the Hong Kong Maritime Museum (HKMM)'s curatorial team, Voyage Through Time exhibition covers captivating photographs taken in Hong Kong between the 1940s and 1970s by Hedda Morrison, Brian Brake and Edward Stokes. These photos portray Hong Kong’s harbour, its port, shipping, maritime life, and the boat people. Generously supported by The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation HK with additional sponsorship from The Swire Group Charitable Trust, the exhibition will open to the public for free from November 2024 to March 2025.
The three well-respected photographers – one born in Germany, one in New Zealand and the last who grew up here – come from diverse backgrounds but share a common passion: they all found fascination in Hong Kong’s people and places. The exhibition features 40 framed photos, illustrating 30 years development of Hong Kong from the end of World War II to the late 1970s. During these decades, Hong Kong emerged from the impacts of a long war, overcoming challenges and setbacks to experience a gradual economic and social resurgence to become a vibrant international port city.
