Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb Museum

The tomb is built of brick and consists of four rooms arranged in the shape of a cross. On some bricks inside the rooms are carved inscriptions and patterns. It is believed that some rooms were used for storage and others for ritual ceremonies.

The tomb was accidentally discovered in August 1955 when the Hong Kong government was leveling the hillsides to build buildings. Until the mid-1980s, the entrance to the tomb was closed to visitors. The tomb is sealed to this day, but it was possible to look inside through a glass panel.

The exhibition hall was built only in 1988. To this day, the permanent exhibition contains bronze and ceramic artifacts found in the tomb. In the exhibition hall there is also 3D animation, which gives a detailed view of the interior of the tomb.

The exhibition hall consists of three sections. The first contains exhibits related to food, such as a map depicting the distribution of food, figurines depicting cooks. The second section is devoted to the process of excavating the tomb of Khan. Here you can find photos and detailed plans of the tomb. In the third section you can see an exhibition of 58 objects: ancient kitchen utensils, ceramic figures, pelvis, mirrors and bells made of bronze. Interestingly, no human skeleton was found in the tomb.
