ICAC Exhibition Hall reopens with immersive and cutting-edge technology showcasing historical archive and new anti-graft knowledge
2025-5-7
The Independent Commission Against Corruption today (May 7) unveiled the newly revamped ICAC Exhibition Hall, which features cutting-edge technological installations empowered by artificial intelligence (AI) system and immersive technology developed by the Country. Starting from tomorrow (May 8), members of the public can revisit Hong Kong’s anti-corruption journey in the past 50 years and explore the latest probity developments to gain a deeper understanding of ICAC’s graft-fighting work both locally and in the international arena.
Speaking at the ICAC Exhibition Hall Relaunch Ceremony, Chief Executive, Mr John Lee, commended the ICAC for integrating innovative technology with public service, demonstrating to local citizens as well as visitors from the Mainland and overseas, in a lively way, the importance of anti-graft work and Hong Kong’s determination to promote probity.
“Apart from showcasing the exceptional achievements of the ICAC in fighting corruption over the years, the revitalised Exhibition Hall also marks a new chapter in Hong Kong’s efforts to promote integrity. The ICAC is an important pillar for sustaining Hong Kong as a clean and efficient international city. It is also a globally acclaimed iconic anti-corruption organisation. I hope this venue will become a prominent platform for promoting integrity both locally and abroad, so that Hong Kong’s anti-corruption legacy will keep shining,” Mr Lee noted.
ICAC Commissioner, Mr Woo Ying-ming, expressed gratitude to the Chief Executive for his unwavering support to the Commission’s work and starring in a promotional video for the Exhibition Hall, which reaffirmed the Government’s steadfast commitment to advancing the anti-corruption cause.
“The ICAC will continue to adopt innovative approaches to promote integrity education. The Exhibition Hall will work in synergy with Café 1974 to create an interactive environment and a distinctive cultural attraction of Hong Kong where local and overseas visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the work of the ICAC while enjoying their coffee,” Mr Woo said.
Prominent guests joining the relaunch ceremony today were Commissioner of Police, Mr Joe Chow Yat-ming; Chairman of ICAC’s Advisory Committee on Corruption, Mr Chan Kin-por; Chairman of ICAC’s Corruption Prevention Advisory Committee, Dr Kelvin Wong Tin-yau; Chairman of ICAC’s Citizens Advisory Committee on Community Relations, Prof Ho Shun-man; and Deputy Commissioner and Head of Operations of the ICAC, Mr Ricky Yau Shu-chun.
The Exhibition Hall features four thematic zones, namely law enforcement, corruption prevention, integrity education and international co-operation. Not to be missed is the virtual time tunnel, a five-sided LED installation sizing 6-metre by 3-metre by 3-metre projecting a 3D film produced by the Commission. The installation provides visitors an immersive experience to travel back in time, to the days before the ICAC was established and corruption was rampant in Hong Kong.
Adjacent to the time tunnel is an array of historical anti-corruption artefacts highlighting the ICAC’s resolute commitment to combating corruption. Among them are the original ledgers belonging to Peter Godber, the corrupt Chief Superintendent of Police in the 1970s. For the first time, visitors can “flip through” the ledgers and examine records of bribe payments through a touch-screen displaying device. Other historical artefacts include the warrant of arrest, extradition order, and indictment of Godber, as well as exhibits of other landmark cases such as the Carrian case and the Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market case.
Adding a futuristic touch to the venue, the Exhibition Hall features an AI system “Dr Deep”. Empowered by the Country’s latest AI model DeepSeek, the system can provide instant anti-corruption information and advice to visitors. Other interactive displays feature major case analyses, ICAC TV dramas, educational mini games, videos on corruption prevention and ICAC’s international liaison work.
To echo the education approach of the ICAC’s Café 1974, the Exhibition Hall is also equipped with a robotic coffee arm developed by the Country. Visitors can enjoy a cup of coffee with unique ICAC-themed latte art when touring the iconic poster wall and other “check-in” attractions.
Located on the second floor of the ICAC Headquarters in North Point, the Exhibition Hall will open to the public from tomorrow with no prior registration or reservation required. For details on opening hours and visit arrangement, please visit the ICAC’s social media platforms or the Exhibition Hall’s official website.
