#wecreate Macau Museum stands as a testament to the city's vibrant history and diverse cultural heritage. Housed within the historic Mount Fortress, this captivating museum offers visitors an immersive journey through time, exploring the unique blend of Eastern and Western influences that have shaped Macau's identity. From archaeological artifacts to interactive exhibits, the Macau Museum provides a comprehensive insight into the city's rich past and its significance as a cultural crossroads. The Macau Museum is located within the formidable Mount Fortress, a structure that played a crucial role in the defense of the city during colonial times. This fortress, originally built in the 17th century, witnessed pivotal moments in Macau's history. It offers a historical backdrop that sets the stage for the museum's exploration of the city's past. By preserving and showcasing Macau's heritage, the museum aims to educate visitors about the city's rich history, from its humble beginnings as a fishing village to its status as a global trading port and a melting pot of cultures.

The Macau Museum is located close to the Ruins of St Paul's. It is a nice place to visit after you take a walk at the ruins. Some say the best way to understand a city is through their museum. There are 3 storeys in the museum. The first level is about the history of Macau. The second level is my favourite part, display of arts and cultural things. The third floor is about contemporary social conditions. You could see the influence of Portuguese and Chinese cultures here. When you come out from the 3rd level, you will reach the Fortaleza do Monte. From here, you can see the panoramic views of Macau. Address: 112 Praceta do Museu de Macau, Macao. Located in the Garden of the Surrounding of Monte Fort Ambiance/Facilities: 8/10 Rating: 4/5 #newyearadventure #tripblazers #macau

Woke-up early to witness a beautiful sunrise at Mount Fortress or also know as the Monte Forte/ official name Fortaleza do Monte. The walk going up at the Mount Fortress is refreshing, and surely you will witness a beautiful sunrise. The Fortaleza do Monte is one of the historical landmark in Macau. You can also enter and go up through the Macau Museum and see a beautiful and historical collection while heading to the fortress. A lot of locals also wake up early to do some exercise/ walking and jogging at the the fortress, since the air and view is relaxing. Don’t forget to visit the fortress when you visit Macau. The hike is worth the view. #mytripvlog #tripblazers

Built in 1626, Fortaleza do Monte was for many years the hub of Portugal's military presence in this part of China, eventually serving as the governor's residence, a role it performed until 1749. Today, this former fortress houses the three-story Macau Museum, dedicated to the archaeology and anthropology of Macau with an emphasis on how the Chinese, Portuguese, and Macanese have come to live and work together. Also worth visiting is the Mount Fortress Garden, a welcome respite with its pleasant moat-like pond and flower beds, and the Moorish-style Mansão Evocativa de Sun Yat-Sen, a mansion built in memory of Sun Yat-sen, founder of the first Chinese Republic. Another related site is Sun Yat Sen Park with its beautiful gardens, a Victorian greenhouse, and an aviary. #macaumusuem

If you want to understand the historical and cultural customs combining Chinese and western elements in Macau, you cannot miss Macau Museum. Located on the hill of the Fortaleza do Monte, it offers a panoramic view of the city. While the first and second floors are underground, from the third floor you can see the whole city at a glance.

This was an interesting little museum in the old town of Macau. It’s cheap to get in and it’s worth a look, but it’s not a must do by any measure. It kind of gives you an overview of Macau history including contemporary history. And they have a re-creation of a typical Macau Street scene. #givethanks

If you want to know more about Macau, how can you miss the Macau Museum? The Macao Museum was on the fortification platform behind the landmark of St. Paul in Macau. It ised to be a military centre. It was not until 1998 that it was changed into a museum. It is a good place to learn about Macau. It takes 15 Australian dollars to go to the museum. Credit cards or Alipay cannot be used here. The museum only accepts payment in cash. There are no toilets in the museum. You can take pictures inside the museum, but be sure not to use the flash. 

The permanent exhibitions at the Macau Museum are rich and can be roughly divided into two threads according to my summary: and . is the cause, and is the result. It is the rich and unique history that has created Macau's diverse cultural traditions. Today, let's briefly talk about the part of the exhibition. 🗺️Geographical Clues🗺️ One well-known and undeniable fact is that Macau has a long history of colonization. During the colonial period, a large amount of foreign cultures, led by Portugal 🇵🇹, poured into Macau. ⚠️Upon entering the museum, there is an interesting corridor. It presents a condensed form of cultural representative content from ancient times to the present; what's more impressive is that the left and right sides of the corridor respectively display the local Chinese 🇨🇳 culture of Macau and the foreign cultures, corresponding one by one, offering an excellent viewing experience. 🧿The Underestimated Length of History🧿 Macau's human history began in the Stone Age. Though small in size, it has been a place of human activity for thousands of years, something my narrow knowledge did not anticipate. The long history through the colonial period to the thriving post-handover period, the combination of cultural relics and models makes the exhibition more interesting. 🖼️The Overlooked Historical Status🖼️ Mainly the part about the Maritime Silk Road. As an important port city, Macau should indeed be an important node on the Maritime Silk Road. Based on trade exchanges, the already culturally diverse Macau was infused with even more elements, reflecting inclusiveness and integration on various levels. 📝Simple Summary📝 If the exhibition only displayed cultural relics, it would be somewhat dull. The logic of the exhibition here, combining cultural relics with model explanations, is both interesting and valuable, and well worth a closer look.

The Macao Museum is located at No. 112, Praceta do Museu de Macau, in the Macao Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. It is a comprehensive museum with a total area of 2,800 square meters and an actual exhibition area of about 2,100 square meters. It was completed and opened to the public on April 19, 1998, with the ribbon-cutting ceremony presided over by the Prime Minister of Portugal, António Guterres. The Macao Museum is mainly divided into three floors. The first floor displays the early history of Macao, the second floor showcases Macanese folk art and traditions, and the third floor exhibits contemporary Macanese items. The museum utilizes high-tech methods such as three-dimensional displays, light, sound, and images, and employs replicas and models to enhance the display effect. Its main collections include calligraphy and paintings, the match industry, export porcelain, folk rituals, the Hac Sa archaeological site on Coloane, and items from the firecracker industry.

The Macau Museum is actually on top of the big fortress, with several levels up and down, and the exhibits and exhibitions are in no way inferior to those on the mainland. 🗺️First, let's talk about the location🗺️ You can definitely find St. Paul's, and not far from St. Paul's is the big fortress, and on top of the fortress is the entrance to the museum. 🌟Practical Information🌟 🎫Ticket Price🎫: Adults 15 MOP, students 8 MOP, very cheap.

Macau's several hundred years of special history has created a unique Macau culture and tradition, where 【History】 is the cause and 【Culture】 is the expression, and this is the basic logic of the museum. ♥️Worth Paying Attention♥️ 1️⃣【History】 and 【Culture】 are the two important threads to follow when visiting here, and the exhibitions are also roughly displayed according to these two perspectives. 2️⃣In addition to the regular exhibitions, there are also some temporary exhibitions, such as the 【Land Culture】 related exhibition I encountered. 3️⃣Many parts of the exhibition are interactive, which is very suitable for parent-child tours. 📝To Sum Up📝 This article briefly summarizes the information about the Macau Museum, and there will be two more articles discussing the exhibition content later.
