HALL 2 余園-The relics of Euston & Eucliffe mansion

This exhibition presents an extraordinary collection of Art Deco and Art Nouveau objets d'art salvaged from the legendary Eucliffe and Euston Mansions - the private residences of Eu Tong Sen, visionary founder of Eu Yan Sang and prominent figure in Hong Kong's history.

​

Though these architectural marvels have faded from our city's landscape, their exquisite artistic legacy endures. Each meticulously preserved piece offers visitors a rare portal into Hong Kong's craftsmanship and sophisticated aesthetic sensibilities of early 20th-century elites.

​

These surviving treasures tell a dual narrative: they are both artefacts of exceptional artistry and poignant reminders of Hong Kong's ever-evolving urban identity. The craftsmanship on display represents a zenith of decorative arts achievement, where European design movements were reinterpreted through an Eastern lens for discerning colonial-era collectors.

​

We invite you to appreciate not just the objects themselves, but the marvellous tales they carry.
