Glimpse of the past: United College's campus on Bonham Road in 1962.

An exhibition which outlines Hong Kong's development in culture and education over the past 50 years is on show until May 28 at the Museum of History.

Jointly organised by the Leisure & Cultural Services Department and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the exhibition displays 39 items - including textbooks, student report cards, and photos - which show the cultural and educational development in Hong Kong from 1956 to 2006.

It also examines the inter-relationship between United College - one of the university's earliest schools - and the community.

The museum is located at 100 Chatham Road South. It opens from 10am to 6pm from Monday to Saturday and from 10am to 7pm on Sundays and public holidays. It is closed on Tuesdays except public holidays.
