May 30th, 2021, the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China (the Alliance) reopened the June 4th Museum reopened with the photo exhibition "The 1989 Democracy Movement and Hong Kong". This exhibition sketched out milestones in the 1989 democracy movement and Hong Kong people's role in supporting it. From different perspectives, the exhibition looked back on the movement's history and reflected on present-day Hong Kong.

June 6th of that same year, the police used the pandemic as a rationale for again opposing the Alliance holding a "Never Forget June 4th" march; the police also prohibited the Alliance from holding a June 4th Candlelight Vigil. For those reasons, the June 4th Museum created an area to offer flowers, and displayed photos from 31 years of Candlelight Vigils in Hong Kong. However, on June 1st, Food and Environmental Hygiene Department personnel came to the June 4th Museum to do an inspection. They said the Museum had not received a license as a place of public entertainment, and was suspected of being in violation of the law. After some discussion, and for the sake of worker and visitor safety, the Alliance decided to temporarily close the Museum. During the three days it was open, more than 550 visited the exhibition.
