Excitingly, news of the Tai Kwun Centre For Heritage & Arts<\/a> has spread around the world; Tai Kwun is in TIME’s Greatest Places of 2018<\/a>.\u00a0Here’s how they made their selection …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TIME solicited nominations across a variety of categories \u2014 such as museums, parks, bars, restaurants, theme parks, cruises and hotels \u2014 from their editors and correspondents around the world as well as dozens of industry experts. Then they evaluated each one based on key factors, including quality, originality, innovation, sustainability and influence. It’s great to know that with all the destinations out there, Taikwun \u2013 for which WINKLE-PICKER did the heritage interpretation \u2013 made the cut.<\/p>\n

he Former Central Police Station Compound, built between 1841 and 1925, comprises 16 historic building grouped under the former Central Police Station, the Former Central Magistracy and the Victoria Prison. Most of the city\u2019s historic colonial architecture had been bulldozed for development before the British government handed it back to China in 1997.<\/p>\n

The first building in the Former Central Police Station Compound is a Magistrate\u2019s House with jail blocks, which were built in 09Aug 1841. In the year of 1899, the Former Central Prison renamed into Victora Prison (or Victoria Gaol). The site underwent numerous expansions and reconstruction over the next century. In the year of 1862, the number of prisoners increased to 650, therefore the government decided to develop the land nearby. When\u00a0Victoria Prison was decommissioned in 2006, the compound accomplished its mission as a law enforcement organization for Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

In 2008, the Hong Kong SAR Government partnered with the Hong Kong Jockey Club to conserve the and revitalise the complex.<\/sup><\/p>\n

The revitalisation project is one of the most significant and most expensive revitalisation projects in Hong Kong. It has been led by the Hong Kong Jockey Club\u00a0in partnership with the Government of the Hong Kong SAR. <\/sup>The HK$1.8 billion project was conceptualised in 2007 and conservation work started in 2011. <\/sup>The Hong Kong Jockey Club\u2019s charities trust has spent over HK$3.7 billion so far since 2011 as of May 2018.<\/p>\n

Winkle-picker was responsible for the interpretive planning and strategy of the museum and exhibition spaces across the entire site for over 9 years beginning in 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
