welcome to Museums All-Around

Hello fellows,

I have just searched the term "Museum" in the Blogger.com and found there are tons of bogs about museums. It is amazing that many people are dedicated to the same profession and willing to share ideas.

I worked in an indepedent museums, the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences, as a part-time helper since 1999 to 2004, and went to England in order to complete my bachalor degree in English Studies. During my staying in Portsmouth, I kept helping the School Loan Project for the Portsmouth City Museum. And now, I have been back to my home city.

As a museum lover, I visited over 70 museums in 2004-2005 while I was 'flaneur'ing in England and parts of Europe and 40 museums in Asia. I believe that there are some fellows who visited museums much more than I did.

I am going to study the Master course on Museum Studies by the University of Leicester in distance-learning module. Thus, I built up this blog in order to attract someone would share their experiences and ideas.

I will keep posting articles and photos to here and hopefully, give out the data base in which I visited museums in those years.
