The Exchange Exhibition Hall has displays on the history of Hong Kong's exchanges and the securities clearing house, as well as the current facilities in the Trading Hall and the development of Hong Kong's financial markets. There is also a window connected to the Trading Hall that allows visitors to witness the securities market in action.

The Exchange Exhibition Hall is open to the public. Visitors are encouraged to give themselves about one hour so they can explore the Exchange Exhibition Hall at their own pace (The Exchange Exhibition Hall's Floor Plan).
