Situated on the slope of Sheung Wan, in the historic district of Tai Ping Shan where plague broke out over a century ago, the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences (HKMMS) was opened in 1996. It is a unique institution that charts the development of medicine in Hong Kong. The Museum is housed in a declared monument, the Old Pathological Institute. It was originally named the Bacteriological Institute at the time of its opening in 1906, and is probably one of the most intact and original of Hong Kong’s Declared Monuments and heritage buildings.

The Museum occupies over 3000 square metres, comprising 11 exhibition galleries which present in a variety of ways to arouse interest and to help members of the community know more about health and disease, including the unique development of western and traditional Chinese medicine, past conquests of epidemics, medical advances of local importance as well as promotion of the vital message of how to stay healthy.
