Almost a year in the making, the revamped “A Man Beyond the Ordinary: Bruce Lee” features exhibits previously unseen by the Hong Kong public.
The immersive experience opens officially on Sunday and draws on new technology to delve deeper into his work, life and thoughts.
About 400 items – including Lee’s personal memorabilia and photographs that are being showcased for the first time – will be displayed to reveal more about the cultural icon’s life and times.
Among the new highlights are a baby jacket worn by Lee, a fencing mask he used while studying in Hong Kong, more personal letters to his wife Linda, exam revision notes he took at the University of Washington, and original set design drawings for his hit film Enter the Dragon.
Large-scale lighting and interactive installations are part of the revamp, including an optical fibre projection laying out some of Lee’s ideas on martial arts and life philosophy.
An immersive light and sensory installation called “Self. Martial Arts. Emptiness” was also created, reflecting the array and depth of his talent.
