A millions-visited exhibition featuring the martial arts and film legend Bruce Lee that is running at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum will be revamped with the show period extended to 2026, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region announced Monday.

The exhibition entitled "Bruce Lee: Kung Fu, Art, Life," co-hosted by the Hong Kong Heritage Museum and the Bruce Lee Foundation in the U.S., showcases more than 600 Lee-related items like clothing and props he used, including over 400 from the foundation – the largest number of artefacts it has ever lent out.

Running in Hong Kong, where Lee spent his childhood and became a martial arts film star, the exhibition was launched in July 2013 to celebrate the life and achievements of its most famous son and commemorate the 40th anniversary of his death.

It allows visitors to have a close look at life and career of the internationally renowned movie star. Since opening, it has enjoyed continuous popularity, attracting a total attendance of about 3.7 million so far.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of Lee's birth. Following the mutual consent between the museum and the foundation, the exhibition period is being extended to December 31 this year while the revamp is taking place subsequently.

The revamped version is set to reopen in the second half of 2021 with a redesign of the gallery and renewal of exhibits to offer visitors a refreshing and diverse multimedia experience.

The museum will also launch various education and public programs, including seminars, guided tours and youth activities on Bruce Lee's philosophy of life and martial arts.

The museum has reopened some of its permanent exhibitions and most of its exhibition space since Monday with stringent anti-coronavirus measures in place.

Visitors are required to wear masks to enter the museum in phased manner so as to control the crowds.
