===Exhibition Hall=== [[File:HK LeiChengUkHanTombMuseum GranaryPotteryModel.jpg|thumb|Granary model found at the tomb]] [[File:HK LeiChengUkHanTombMuseum PotteryDingTripod.jpg|thumb|[[Ding (vessel)|Ding]] found at the tomb]] The Exhibition Hall is located next to the tomb. The first section is about food and drink in Han as it seems because most of what was found in the Han tomb is related to food. The display of this section begins with the old Chinese adage, 'food is the first necessity of the people'. There is a map depicting food distribution, a [[pictogram]] of rice distribution and a table of the major food groups. There are also three replicas of figurines. Two of the figurines are cooks, and another one is a farmer. The second section is about the excavation of the Han tomb. The excavation process, the inside of the tomb and the archaeologists at work are shown with several photographs. The tomb's structure and layout are shown with the models and plans. This displays also how the professionals dated the tomb by using the inscriptions on the bricks. The third part of the gallery shows the artefacts found in the tomb. As the only Eastern Han dynasty brick tomb ever found in Hong Kong, the Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb has invaluable historic value containing 58 items found on site. Objects include cooking utensils, food containers, storage jars and models (a house, a granary, a well and a stove) made of [[pottery]] (50), as well as bowls, basins, mirrors, and bells made of [[bronze]] (8). No human skeletal remains were found.
