During the period of the Hong Kong Arts Festival, visitors
attending the performances at the City Hall will find an extra attraction
in the Main Foyer a neat and informative display of Chinese musical
instruments.

The display is a contribution by the Urban Council to the
Hong Kong Arts Festival and the instruments are from the collection of
the City Museum and Art Gallery.
There are altogether over 40 Chinese musical instruments displayed,
including stringed, wind and percussion instruments.
Although they are not rare items, the collection illustrates
all the main types of instruments now in use in performances and the
opera.
It is of special interest to students and visitors who would
like to have a quick visual introduction to Chinese musical instruments,
and to see the variety of instruments well dispalyed,
The dispaly will last until March 24, 1973.
