Tickets for the exhibition will be available for purchase via the online reservation system starting at 10 a.m. tomorrow, for visits scheduled from 2nd to 31st of next month.
The old Yau Ma Tei Police Station is located at No.627 Canton Road. A Grade II historic building in Hong Kong built in the Edwardian architectural style of Britain, the ground floor of this historic structure has been revitalised by the Creative Industries Development Office.

Each guided tour session lasts for 25 minutes, and visitor numbers are capped at 20 per session to ensure an optimal experience for all attendees.
Standard tickets are priced at HK$30. Concessionary tickets at HK$10 are offered to students, senior citizens, recipients of the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) Scheme and people with disabilities. Children aged six or under are admitted free of charge.
