The show at Hong Kong's Tai Kwun - a historic police compound-turned-cultural centre - was curated by Tetra Neon Exchange, a group focused on conserving the city's neon signs that are slowly being taken down due to building safety concerns. Tetra Neon Exchange's general manager said she's hopeful that their conservation work - and the exhibit, which runs until Sept 3 - could help boost awareness to preserve the few shimmering signs remaining in the city.But across town in Kowloon Sunday, electrical technicians worked carefully to remove a towering sign for the famed Tai Ping Koon Restaurant - one of Hong Kong's oldest eating establishments.
