H’ART Museum
H’ART Museum occupies the Amstelhof, a riverside complex built as a charitable home for older residents. Its museum role began with Hermitage Amsterdam in 2009 and evolved into a new international partnership, so the building’s history of care now meets a changing programme of art and culture.
Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum
In Amsterdam’s oldest cannabis museum, the story begins with a surprisingly fragile institution: it was shut down the day after opening, then reopened the next day. Its collection follows hemp and cannabis through cultivation, trade, medicine, and changing public attitudes.
Hatta Dam
Blue water gathers between Hatta’s rocky mountains at this reservoir, creating a stark contrast with the dry slopes around it. The dam is infrastructure as well as scenery: it stores water for the settlement and reshapes how visitors experience the mountain landscape.
Hatta Heritage Village
Hatta Heritage Village presents traditional architecture and community life in the Hajar Mountains, with stone, mud and palm materials shaped by a rugged inland environment. Restored buildings make local history tangible through homes, defensive structures and shared spaces.
Haw Par Villa
Haw Par Villa is an outdoor park of vivid sculptures and dioramas depicting Chinese stories, values, and religious ideas. Created by Tiger Balm entrepreneur Aw Boon Haw, it has changed from a private family garden into a public cultural site.
Heian Shrine
Heian Shrine recreates the ceremonial scale of Kyoto’s ancient imperial capital in a city seeking renewal at the end of the nineteenth century. Its bright vermilion halls and broad gravel court make the past visible through a modern monument.
Heineken Experience
The Heineken Experience occupies the company’s original Amsterdam brewery, where brewing ran from 1867 to 1988. The industrial building now explains how a local brewery grew into an international brand.
Helix Bridge
The Helix Bridge curves across Marina Bay with a steel structure inspired by DNA. Its double spiral is both a recognizable form and a symbol of continuity, linking the Marina Centre waterfront with the Bayfront side.
Henderson Waves
Henderson Waves links hilltop parks along Singapore’s Southern Ridges with a sculptural timber-and-steel walkway. Its undulating ribs form sheltered pockets along the bridge, turning a practical crossing above a road into a distinctive place to pause among the treetops.
HEP FIVE Ferris Wheel
A bright red Ferris wheel rises from the roofline of HEP FIVE, making the ride part of Umeda’s urban silhouette. The wheel was integrated into a commercial building as an entertainment feature, pairing a city panorama with an everyday shopping district.
Herengracht
Herengracht’s broad curve and stately canal houses show how Amsterdam’s mercantile elite shaped the expanding city. The Golden Bend, between Koningsplein and Vijzelstraat, concentrates especially large seventeenth-century residences along this elegant main canal.
Hesapçı Street
Hesapçı Street follows the route of ancient Attaleia’s main road between Hadrian’s Gate and Hıdırlık Tower. Roman road remains found here underline how the present street pattern still carries an older route through Kaleiçi.
Het Scheepvaartmuseum
The Maritime Museum occupies the former Admiralty Arsenal, a monumental seventeenth-century storehouse built around an open courtyard. Picture sails, flags, and cannons once kept here; the replica East Indiaman nearby makes the mechanics and human costs of sea travel tangible.
Higashi Hongan-ji
Higashi Hongan-ji is a major Shin Buddhist temple complex near Kyoto Station. Its immense halls express the scale of a religious community, while their reconstruction history reflects the devotion that sustained the institution through repeated fires.
Highgate Cemetery
Highgate Cemetery’s sloping paths and elaborate memorials reflect the Victorian creation of landscaped burial grounds beyond crowded central London. Opened in 1839, the West Cemetery was later expanded across Swain’s Lane, creating a landscape where architecture and vegetation share the frame.
High Island Hexagonal Rock Columns
High Island’s hexagonal rock columns are remnants of an ancient volcanic system, exposed where cliffs meet the sea and reservoir. Their unusual rhyolitic composition and immense scale make this one of Hong Kong’s defining geological landscapes.
High Island Reservoir East Dam
At High Island Reservoir’s East Dam, curved columns of volcanic rock rise beside the water and sea. The reservoir project exposed these formations, turning an engineering landscape into a close-up record of ancient eruptions and the forces that shaped Hong Kong’s coast.
Hira Cultural District
Hira Cultural District lies at the foot of Jabal al-Nour, connecting visitor interpretation with the mountain and Cave of Hira. Its museums and exhibitions provide historical context for a sacred landscape before visitors encounter the mountain itself.
Hıdırlık Tower
At the edge of Kaleiçi’s cliffs, Hıdırlık Tower presents a square base supporting a round upper drum. Its purpose remains debated: the structure may have begun as a Roman mausoleum before later becoming part of the city’s defenses.
Hollywood Bowl
The Hollywood Bowl’s open-air seating follows the natural shape of a hillside, while its stage shell has been redesigned repeatedly to carry music into the audience. The venue’s history is a series of experiments in sound, form, and public performance.
Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Hollywood Forever Cemetery began in 1899 and remains a burial place as well as a venue for cultural gatherings. Its grounds preserve the stories of people who shaped Hollywood’s early film industry and the city around it.
Hollywood Sign
The Hollywood Sign sits high on Mount Lee, its white letters visible across Los Angeles. Built in 1923 as a real-estate advertisement for Hollywoodland, it outlived its intended campaign and became an emblem of the film capital it once merely promoted.
Hollywood Walk of Fame
The Hollywood Walk of Fame runs along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, placing brass stars in the pavement beneath the neighbourhood’s theatre marquees. Each star recognizes achievement in entertainment, turning a busy sidewalk into a public record of popular culture.
Holocaust Memorial
The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is a place of remembrance for the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Peter Eisenman’s field of concrete stelae occupies a central Berlin site, with an underground information center documenting persecution and murder.
