The Hong Kong Museum of History's Hong Kong Story exhibition is undergoing a two-year revamp, sparking concerns among scholars about potential political influence and bias in the portrayal of the city's history. The previous exhibition, which attracted over 10 million visitors since 2001, covered the period up to 1997 and was criticized for its conservative curation. Experts like John Carroll and Godfrey Lai advocate for a balanced and critical approach to the new exhibit, which will extend to 2014. They emphasize the importance of including diverse perspectives, especially those of Hong Kong people, and caution against the government's reliance on pro-establishment sources. The revamp comes amid heightened sensitivity to political issues following massive protests in Hong Kong.
