Visitors to Hong Kong's History Museum can take the subway to the city's Tsim Sha Tsui neighborhood, a bustling tourist and shopping district. There they'll find a sprawling 190,000 square foot facility where visitors can wander through three stories of exhibits on events that have shaped the history of Hong Kong and China, from the Opium Wars to the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during World War II.

But there's one event that cannot be found on display: the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre.
