Bruce Lee’s Home will be a Museum

After a lengthy and heated battle by fans, the fate of Kung Fu legend Bruce Lee’s last home has been decided. The late film icon’s 5,700 square foot, two-story town house in Hong Kong will be preserved as a museum for tourists to enjoy.

For a while, it was feared the property would end up being converted into a “love motel” and disrespect the memory of it’s accomplished former resident. However, thanks to it’s current owner, real estate and hotel tycoon Yu Pang-lin, the decision was made to donate the property to the city where Lee made his fame.

Hong Kong’s Commerce and Economic Development Bureau said it agreed to preserve the “original outlook of the building and its features” with an aim to revitalize it for long-term sustainable operation as a tourism attraction.

Parts of the home will be re-created, including Lee’s study and training hall stacked with martial arts weaponry and other paraphernalia of his discipline.
