This stylized sailing ship is believed to be on the site where the Portuguese first landed in Macau, and the museum bears testimony to the many fishermen of the territory’s past. The ground floor shows the traditional way of life of Chinese fishermen, with several types of ships for visitors to marvel at including 14 replicas of traditional Portuguese ships. There’s also a gallery of aquariums showing a riverbed, the harbor waters, a coral reef and the seabed with the remains of an ancient shipwreck.
This museum includes seven galleries including a permanent collection consisting of both Chinese and Western pieces with calligraphy, seals, Chinese ceramics, bronze pieces, photography and contemporary art. Shiwan ceramics and historical documents round out the displays, and temporary exhibitions are often held.
This is a rich museum depicting Macau’s nearly five centuries of habitation. Built by the Jesuits at the beginning of the 17th century, the museum contains a vast number of objects chosen for their historical value. It aims to show the way of life of the various communities that have lived in Macau over the centuries. Displays go up to the present day.
Families should make a beeline for this imaginative and interactive museum that well and truly brings science to life with hands-on tasks, puzzles, games and tests. Corkscrew your way up the inside of this cone-shaped seafront building and explore themed floors ranging from health and technology to nature and eco-issues. There’s a planetarium showing excellent 3D films too. Reserve tickets in advance or as soon as you arrive as the shows sell-out fast.
