     This year marks the 47th anniversary of the passing of the internationally renowned movie star Bruce Lee.

Following mutual consent this year between the Hong Kong Heritage Museum and the Bruce Lee Foundation in the US, the exhibition period will be extended to December 31 (Thursday) and the revamp will then take place subsequently. The revamped exhibition is expected to reopen in the second half of 2021. In addition to implementing a redesign of the gallery and renewal of exhibits, the revamp will introduce a multimedia experience and other display items, offering visitors a refreshing and diverse experience. Furthermore, the local and overseas collectors of Bruce Lee memorabilia whose collection pieces are now on display at the exhibition have also agreed to extend the loan of their items to help let the legend of Bruce Lee go on at the museum.
 
     After the completion of revamp, the museum will hold various education and public programmes, including talks, guided tours and youth activities on Bruce Lee's philosophy of life and martial arts.
