Sam Tung Uk is a 200-year-old Hakka walled village that was declared a monument in 1981. It was converted into the Sam Tung Uk Museum (STUM) and opened to the public after restoration in 1987. In 2016, the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Office set up the "Hong Kong Intangible Cultural Heritage Centre (ICHC)" at STUM as a display and resource centre. It aims to enhance the public's understanding and awareness of ICH through various educational and promotional activities.
To offer enriching and inspiring visiting experience, ICH Office invited SIU Kwok Kin Stanley as Guest Curator to lead, curate and design the revamp in late 2020. The revamp works have been the largest ever since the inception of the ICHC. With more artistic and up-to-date elements added, the new interior and exhibition series "Lost and Sound — Hong Kong Intangible Cultural Heritage" reinterprets local traditional culture in an innovative and creative way.
