摘要

本文旨在介绍香港大会堂博物馆鲜为人知的历史。1869年至1933年间,这座博物馆坐落在旧市政厅内,旨在为包括中国人在内的英国殖民地居民提供娱乐和教育场所。展览馆致力研究自然历史,并透过科学展览自然历史标本和文物,传播知识,成为香港现代化的象征,并体现一定程度的“文明”。然而,市政厅博物馆从来没有达到它最初提出的期望,它的藏品仍然令人失望和不一致。这一失败被认为是殖民地的耻辱。本文旨在解释为什么这个机构,在其六十多年的存在中,未能收集足够的组织和资源来支持自己,最终从记忆中消失。

The forgotten museum of Hong Kong: a place of unfulfilled ambitions (1869–1933)
ABSTRACT This article aims to shed light on the little-known history of the Hong Kong City Hall Museum. Housed in the old City Hall between 1869 and 1933, the museum was intended as a place of entertainment and education for the residents of the British colony, including Chinese people. Dedicated to research and seeking the dissemination of knowledge through scientific displays of natural history specimens and artefacts, it was to be an emblem of Hong Kong's modernity and embody a certain degree of ‘civilization’. However, the City Hall Museum never lived up to the expectations it initially had raised, and its collections remained disappointing and inconsistent. This failure was perceived as a stigma for the colony. This paper intends to offer an understanding of why this institution, during its more than sixty years of existence, failed to gather sufficient organisation and resources to support itself and ended up disappearing from memory.
