Wan Chai & Northeast Hong Kong Island
One for shutterbugs, this ambitious exhibition space over two floors of a commercial building is a shrine to the golden age of film photography and its greatest exponents. As well as regular exhibitions, there's a bookshop, cafe and store selling vintage Leica cameras. It's the more ambitious sister venue to Happy Valley's F11 Photographic Museum.
Take a tram to Happy Valley and alight at the Morrison Hill Rd stop.
