I think everyone would have preferred the old home to be turned into a museum. But since it turned out not to be possible, I'm glad at least he's being celebrated and given some sort of recognition
The exhibition, Bruce Lee: Kung Fu. Art. Life, was organised by the foundation and the Heritage Museum, where it is held.
The display - which chronicles the life of the late movie star and martial artist - came about after a plan to turn Bruce Lee's old Kowloon Tong home into a museum fell through.
"I think everyone would have preferred the old home to be turned into a museum," said Lee.
"But since it turned out not to be possible, I'm glad at least he's being celebrated and given some sort of recognition."
The exhibition in Sha Tin features more than 600 items - 400 from the foundation and the rest from individual collectors. Exhibits are displayed in various settings, including one from the movie , which Bruce Lee was in the middle of filming when he died of acute cerebral edema at the age of 32.
