The Hong Kong Museum of History has its own photo collection of 14,000 prints and other related itemswhich it considers perhaps the most significant hoard of the museum, and has frequently exhibited them over the past decade. In mid-2012, the Moonchu Foundation agreed to loan the museum another 10,000 old photos of China (including some taken in Hong Kong) that it had recently purchased in the United Kingdom, as well as other valuable old China photos acquired through auctions. You can see some of the best at the museum until April 21st.
Singer songwriter Deserts Chang has become one of the most popular Indie musicians in mainland China, her homeland of Taiwan, and Hong Kong. She was a member of the rock band Mango Runs, named most popular act and winner of the Indie Music Award at the Taipei Ho-Hai-Yan Rock Festival in 2003. She released her own debut album for a major label, My Life Will... in 2006 on the Sony BMG record label. Many worried that the recording deal would change her music, but Deserts remains true to herself and is now releasing her music on her own record label. We're delighted that she is with us right now.
