Bruce Lee fans bid farewell to Hong Kong museum

Bruce Lee fans gathered at a Hong Kong mini-museum dedicated to the legendary martial artist to bid farewell to the site as operating expenses forced the itinerant archive to close once again.

The Bruce Lee Club, which was founded by the Lee family, had put a collection of about 2,000 artefacts, including decades-old magazines and a large sculpture showing the superstar's iconic moves, on display in year 2001.

Born in San Francisco in 1940, Bruce Lee was raised in British-run Hong Kong and had an early brush with fame as a child actor. He later became one of the first Asian men to achieve Hollywood stardom before his death at the age of 32.
