Enter the long-awaited Bruce Lee show
Late kung fu star's clothing, pictures and tools will go on display for the first time in July as part of a long-awaited exhibition to run for five years
More than 100 items of memorabilia telling the life story of late kung fu legend Bruce Lee will go on display for the first time in July.
The five-year Bruce Lee exhibition at the Heritage Museum in Sha Tin is the result of efforts by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department after a plan to convert the star's former home into a museum fell through.
The department said most of the exhibits would be on loan from the Bruce Lee Foundation, a public benefit corporation which aims to promote and preserve the legacy of the late star, run by his family - wife Linda Lee Cadwell and daughter Shannon Lee.
The items will include clothing, pictures and tools used by Lee to practice kung fu. The items have never been shown publicly.
The exhibition, covering over 600 square metres, will also feature a 2-1/2 hour documentary telling Lee's life story and interviews with those who were close to him.
In 2008, philanthropist Yu Panglin offered to donate Lee's former home, a two-storey house at 41 Cumberland Road in Kowloon Tong, in the hope of turning it into a museum. But the conditions to expand the house into a fully fledged museum complex could not be agreed upon, and the plan was scrapped in 2011.
