Let $C$ and $C'$ be two convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with nonempty intersection. Is it true that $$ \overline{C\cap C'} = \overline{C}\cap \overline{C'} ? $$

No. You can take $H_1 = \{(x,y) \in R^2, y > 0 \}$ and $H_2 = \{(x,y) | y < 0 \}$. Then let $p = (0,0)$, and let $A = H_1 \cup p$ and $B = H_2 \cup p$.
