| Abstract | The decision to place the new Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence on a site that is already a museum piece in itself, was remarkably fortuitous, but it also laid the foundations to a project that was no ordinary conversion. What started as a straightforward brainstorm back in 1993, to find a home for the stockpile of wartime artefacts that had been archived in the premises of the disbanded Royal Voluntary Defence Corps, became an exercise in transforming "a fine example of Victorian fortification" into a museum attraction. |
