Tai Kwun
大馆
A cultural and arts landmark revitalised from the former Central Police Station, Central Magistracy, and Victoria Prison.
Tai Kwun is made up of three declared monuments: the former Central Police Station, the former Central Magistracy, and the Victoria Prison. The compound dates back to the mid-19th century and reopened in 2018 after revitalisation. The site features the Police Parade Ground, prison cell exhibitions, historical displays, and the JC Contemporary art gallery, designed by Herzog & de Meuron. Admission is free, although some exhibitions require advance booking. Located between Hollywood Road and Arbuthnot Road, it can be reached via the Central–Mid-Levels Escalator and explored alongside SoHo and PMQ.
