PAST EXHIBITION
The Development of Banks in Shanghai and Hong Kong
November 28, 2007—May 26, 2008
As two of the world's most advanced financial centres, Shanghai and Hong Kong are home to sophisticated financial institutions and extensive transaction networks. Although the banking industries in Shanghai and Hong Kong have been shaped by different historical circumstances, early native banks in Shanghai and Hong Kong maintained business relationships with each other, while a number of domestic and foreign-funded banks also developed their business in both cities at the same time. Featuring some 200 sets of selected memorabilia from the Shanghai Bank Museum and Hong Kong, including signboards, banknotes, receipts, savings boxes and books, bank equipment and souvenirs, as well as the reconstruction of a Shanghai native bank and a savings office of People's Bank of China, this exhibition tells the development of banking industry in these two financial centres, how the local co-operation between them complemented their development and how a modern banking industry was able to thrive and prosper in both cities.
