The
F11
Foto
Museum
is
a
specialist
attraction,
making
use
of
a
Grade
3
historical
building
from
the
1930s.
The
property
is
of
subtle
Art
Deco
architecture
and
a
nice
venue
for
rare
photography
exhibitions
which
are
held
here
throughout
the
year.
Within
the
museum,
you
will
see
rare
cameras,
phones,
books
and
Art
Deco
furniture.
At
present,
there
is
an
exhibition
of
photos
of
Hong
Kong
in
1959-60
by
influential
Dutch
photographer,
Ed
van
der
Elsken
(1925-90).
The
exhibition
includes
around
150
images
and
an
entry
of
HK$100
per
person.
The
exhibition
is
curated
well
and
offers
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
view
life
on
the
streets
of
Hong
Kong
during
a
time
long
past
and
much
different
to
what
you
see
in
the
modern
era.
The
information
brochure
provided
with
your
ticket
is
generic
information
about
the
exhibition
only.
If
you
have
a
mobile
with
data
plan
you
can
scan
a
barcode
in
the
museum.
This
gives
you
access
to
an
online
guide
with
information
about
the
various
photographs.
Unfortunately,
information
is
mostly
in
Chinese
with
limited
English
text.
There
are
a
few
audio
stops
in
English
describing
a
handful
of
the
images.
These
were
nice
to
listen
to.
Overall,
the
exhibition
is
visually
rewarding
and
we
were
glad
to
have
attended.
At
the
high
price
of
HK$100,
a
better
job
was
expected
for
providing
English
language
details
for
the
pieces
on
display.
This
is
something
for
them
to
think
about
for
future
exhibitions.
