About The Museum
The Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum (HKCSM) is situated next to the parade ground of the Hong Kong Correctional Services Academy in Stanley, the museum is housed in a two-storey building with an area of about 480 square metres where more than 600 artefacts and numerous historical photos are displayed. The museum takes visitors on a journey through the historical development of Hong Kong's penal system and gives visitors a glimpse into the prison settings. There are one mock gallows and two mock cells inside the museum. Together with a mock guard tower that stands on the top of the building and the old prison walls in the outside garden, visitors are just like walking through a time tunnel towards the history of the correctional services in Hong Kong.
Situated in the annex building, the new Community Education Experience Centre, based on the theme 'Home‧Nation‧Corrections', showcases the Correctional Services Department's relations with our country and Hong Kong, and introduces the Department's education programmes for youngsters.
