This museum inside the Mei Ho House Youth Hostel introduces the history of Mei Ho House which was among the first batch of resettlement blocks built to house the survivors of a devastating blaze that broke out in 1953 and left nearly 58,000 homeless.

Using artefacts and replicas of old residences, the museum introduces way of life and culture of the grassroots in Hong Kong in the1950s-70s.
