Heritage Museum showcases Lee Hong-kum's artistic career (with photos)

**********************************************************************

     An exhibition entitled "The Leading Actress, Perfidious Concubine and Beloved Grandma - Lee Hong Kum's Artistic Career" is on display from today (August 30) at the Cantonese Opera Heritage Hall of the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. It showcases about 50 objects and photos, including Cantonese opera costumes and theatrical items donated by the renowned Cantonese opera star Lee Hong-kum, allowing visitors to revisit Lee's opera career and remarkable performances on the silver screen.

     Throughout a career in the performing arts spanning more than 60 years, Lee Hong-kum has made outstanding contributions to Cantonese opera, film and television. In 2016, she generously donated more than 200 Cantonese opera treasures to the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, and the donation was an invaluable addition to the museum's collection.

     During the exhibition period, six movie excerpts starring Lee Hong-kum are being screened at the screening room of the Cantonese Opera Heritage Hall.

     The exhibition will run until August 29 next year with free admission.

     The Hong Kong Heritage Museum is located at 1 Man Lam Road, Sha Tin. For details of the exhibition, please visit the museum's website at www.heritagemuseum.gov.hk/en_US/web/hm/exhibitions/permanent_exhibitions/permanent_cantonopera.html or call 2180 8188 for enquiries.
