    Celebrating its 5th birthday, F11 Foto Museum is proud to present “HONG KONG the way it was”, an exhibition of over 130 beautiful photos taken in 1959 -1960 by Ed van der Elsken (1925 – 1990), one of the most influential Dutch photographers in the 20th century. This will be the first time the HONG KONG series is shown in its entirety.

    In this collection, van der Elsken shows his great warmth and hope for old Hong Kong, which he described as the “prettiest of harbour cities” during his 13-month round-the-world trip.  While staying in Hong Kong for three weeks, he was able to capture the essence of cityscapes, town views and people of the city at that time.  There is a touch of familiarity in these prints, yet there are also many fascinating “new” objects, practices and building structures that are long gone.  Through van der Elsken’s eyes, visitors can reminisce and discover the disappeared Hong Kong of times past.

    The exhibition is open for public viewing from 2pm to 7pm, Tuesdays to Saturdays (closed on Sundays, Mondays and public holidays). Please email to info@f11.com, or call 6516 1122 for group visit appointment.

    Admission Fee: HKD100 for adults.  HKD50 for students and seniors aged 65 or above.  Free admission for the disabled and children aged 11 or below.

    Guided tours are available every Saturday and they are free with Museum admission. To reserve, please click the session below:

    為慶祝成立5週年,F11攝影博物館特意舉辦 《HONG KONG the way it was》 展覽,展出逾130張由二十世紀其中一位最具影響力的荷蘭攝影師埃德·凡·德·埃爾斯肯(Ed van der Elsken) (下簡稱「Ed」) (1925 – 1990) 於1959年至1960年間在香港拍攝的早期原作照片。

    這個香港的攝影系列處處流露攝影師對被他譽為「最美麗的港口城市」的喜愛和期許 。 凡·德·埃爾斯肯在1959和1960年的十三個月環球旅行中,曾兩度訪港,用三個星期捕捉當時香港的城市景觀和社會人生百態。這個系列除了有很多令人覺得似曾相識的畫面外,也有許多「前所未見」的影像如一些早已消失在時代洪流的生活細節及建築物。通過凡·德·埃爾斯肯的眼睛,觀眾可以再一次回味、審視香港那段已經逝去的歲月。

    展覽逢星期二至星期六(星期日、星期一及公眾假期休館),下午2時至7時開放予公眾參觀。團體參觀可電郵至info@f11.com ,或致電6516 1122預約。

    票價:成人HKD100、學生及65歲或以上長者HKD50、傷健人士及11歲或以下兒童免費參觀。
