The Hong Kong Museum of the War of Resistance and Coastal Defence (MWRCD) was converted from the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence on 3 September 2024 (the Victory Day of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression). The museum focuses on the history of the War of Resistance and changes in Hong Kong’s coastal defence and military affairs, cultivating a stronger sense of national esteem and patriotism.

The permanent exhibition showcases Hong Kong’s resistance against the Japanese invasion of China and its close relationship with national coastal defence and military changes from the Tang dynasty to recent times. In which “The War of Resistance Galleries” introduce the history of the Japanese invasion of China, the fall of Hong Kong, the underground resistance of the Hong Kong Independent Battalion of the Dongjiang Column, the guerrilla fighters’ contributions, and Japan’s surrender, while paying tribute to the martyrs who fought in the War of Resistance.
