  • The Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence is located in an old British fort overlooking one of the entrances to Victoria Harbour. On the eastern end of Hong Kong Island, the fort is high atop a hill and still has many of the original structures originally installed by the Brits in 1887.

  • One of my favorite places to visit near Seattle is the Museum of Flight near Boeing Field in Seattle. If you love airplanes this is a great place to catch up on the history of aviation near where commercial airlines began. This is the largest air and space museum in the world and while I've visited this museum twice I still have not seen it all!

  • After eating Lampredotto at the market, my second favorite thing that I did in Florence was to visit the Museo Galileo [www.museogalileo.it]. Florence is most well known for its museums that house classic sculptures and works of art, but if historical artifacts mean more to you than classical art, then the Galileo Museum in Florence is an absolute can't miss.

  • Based on the interest level from last week's TPThursday post, I've decided to run a part 2 to show a few more pictures from the Hong Kong Museum of History including some YouTube goodness of planes landing at the old Kai Tak airport!

  • If you're in Hong Kong and feel like taking a break from the eat-shop-eat-shop-eat-eat-sleep pattern, the Hong Kong Museum of History is a great way to escape. Located in the Tsim Sha Tsui part of town it's actually kind of difficult to get to by the MTR subway system. On a nice day it is walkable from Kowloon, or you can take the MTR to the Hung Hom station and wander through the Hong Kong Technical College.
