Support the Collection

These objects survive not because they're oldβ€”but because someone chose to preserve them, catalog them, make them discoverable. If you believe this work matters, there are ways to participate.

// Why It Matters

Hong Kong has a rich tradition of private collectors preserving cultural heritage. From the Chih Lo Lou Collection at the Museum of Art to Peter Fung's Liang Yi Museum, individuals have safeguarded treasures that might otherwise be scattered or lost.

The Antique Archive continues this tradition with a focus on ancient coinage, Mesopotamian seals, and objects of personal adornmentβ€”material culture that connects us to daily life across millennia.
