Bruce Lee Museum closed due to lack of funds

In Hong Kong, a fan museum dedicated to Hong Kong and American actor and martial arts master Bruce Lee has been closed.

As reported by BAKU.WS, the official Bruce Lee fan club announced this on their Facebook page.

The museum's collection includes 2,000 artifacts - sculptures, magazines, and rare footage.

"Expenses have forced us to think about how to use our resources most effectively to keep the flame of Bruce Lee's spirit alive," say museum representatives.

The museum's revenue dropped during the coronavirus pandemic. It is unknown whether the museum will open again.

The official fan club was founded by Bruce Lee's family.

The star of "Fist of Fury" and "Way of the Dragon" passed away in July 1973 at the age of 32. The traveling museum of artifacts related to him first opened in another location in Hong Kong in 2000, and was reopened in 2019 after a multi-year hiatus.
