Outside of his demanding professional life, Mr. Fung was a passionate connoisseur. He spent his leisure hours exploring the antique shops along Hollywood Road, and his international travels frequently found him immersed in museums and esteemed galleries. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, he meticulously assembled a comprehensive collection encompassing gold and silver wares, archaic bronzes, and Buddhist sculptures. Pieces from his collection have been widely exhibited, including on loan to the Hong Kong Museum of Art and featured in multiple anniversary exhibitions of the Min Chiu Society.
