June 4th Museum, the worlds first and only museum commemorating Tiananmen Massacre was opened on April 26 in Hong Kongs Tsimshacui tourist area. These are some photos of the interior on organizer Lee Cheuk Yans Facebook. June 4th is the 25th anniversary of the 1989 massacre. April 26th was chosen as the opening date as it was on this day 25 years ago when the Chinese Communist Party formally labeled the pro-democracy movement as a revolt by publishing an editorial in Peoples Dailys front page entitled Must Take a Clear-cut Stance Against Revolt (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_26_Editorial) , paving the way for the Martial Law and the bloody military crackdown. U.S.-based Chinese activist Yang Jianli was barred entry as he landed in Hong Kong to attend the opening ceremony. Museum website: 64museum.org/
