Objective:
Surprisingly, as one of the world's most modern cities, often thought of as a city of skyscrapers, Hong Kong has an incredibly rich and diverse cultural heritage. This is reflected in its wide diversity of old and relatively new buildings and monuments; from ancient temples and walled villages, through to Tai Kwun, Heritage 1881 and Norman Foster's HSBC Building. Hong Kong also has many museums and galleries containing important representations of Chinese and other cultures which were important in the development of modern Hong Kong. These range from treasures and works of art, through to the more seemingly mundane legacy of Hong Kong's colonial history, but also evidence its pre and post-colonial heritage. This 3-hour seminar considers the issues, and the legal and other protection affecting cultural heritage in Hong Kong. Among other topics, the seminar will consider: built heritage; antiquities and other forms of portable heritage; the history of looted heritage (including Hong Kong's role in the illicit trafficking of looted heritage from China); shipwrecks, pirates, and treasure hunters; and, the newest recognised form of cultural heritage, intangible cultural heritage, including Hong Kong's rich heritage of Cantonese opera, bamboo scaffolding, neon signs and milk tea.
