Macau is best known as "the Vegas of Orient" and millions of travelers visit its magnificent casinos each year. Therefore, it is a little odd to write about Macau as a "Museum city", but when it is true that most of the museums of the city is not yet as big as a single corner in the Louvre or the Metropolitan, some of them are very unique and was visiting.
This article will guide you in seven unique museums that you should try to visit to Macao.
) 1 The Museum Macau's Grand Prix: naturally, I would have started an article on "museums in Macao" with the Museum of Macao, itself, however, I decided to start with the Museum of Macao, Grand Prix this small and well presented Museum appeals to almost everyone, including those who normally don't find museums interesting...
Macau Grand Prix was a better known international event of the city for over fifty years now, and the "Guia Circuit" has acquired a reputation track demanding Street in the world.
In the Museum you can see all these famous cars and motorcycles that actually made history on Macau Grand Prix, in true retro modern "road killers" which may accelerate as fast as an aircraft... Expectedly, there are lots of interesting information about drivers who once ruled the circuit, including the names known as Ayrton Senna, Michael and Ralf Schumacher and David Coulthard, among others.
Next to the small Museum of the wine, bears is also useful to visit (especially since you are there anyway) .Macao has absolutely nothing to do with the production of wine, but it was colonized for hundreds of years by Portugal, which is a country of wine significatif.Le Museum takes the visitor through the production of wine, techniques and technologies, culture and same festivals focused on wine and customs story... As expected, there is a little too much wine tasting.
2) Delivery of gifts Museum of Macao is housed in an ultra modern building which is exactly where the ceremony 1999 took place and highlights all those gifts given to Macau and his people by different advice from China.Each donation is a true piece of art, unique in the region where came, and reflects the special skills of the population of this region.
3) Macao Museum: housed in what used to harder of Macau, the Macau Museum tells the fascinating history of this unique city and it might lack impressive features which have some "national" museums around the world, it compensates with very interesting exhibitions and an atmosphere somewhat Muray which is so much that Macau is all about.
4) De Macau Maritime Museum: there are certainly better maritime museums in the world than it, but that of Macao has a very nice collection of replicas of old and Chinese, Portuguese vessels model worth to see.Ancient navigation instrument they showcase is also interesting.
5) The Fire Services Museum of Macao (Museu dos Bombeiros): this tiny Museum is housed in a historic of 1920s that once served as the headquarters of the Macau fire services, and that you will not need more than 15-20 minutes to cover building the it engine fire vintage will still have their charm.
6) Taipa Houses Museum (Museu Casas da Taipa) includes a row of five beautiful colonial houses, Manor to accommodate families of Portuguese well heels return in the years 1920. today, each houses displays another theme and one of the five, La maison de Macanese is probably the most interesting, because it gives insight into the life of a rich family of Macanese at the beginning of the 20th century, including all furniture, utensils and other bits and pieces.
7) Flax Zexu Memorial Museum is a very small museum, located in the North of Macau, the Canidrome, and although it is not really big or sophisticated, it is well worth visiting, especially if you like the history as it outlines one of the most fascinating moments in modern history.
The Museum focuses on the history of Lin Zexu: a senior officer during the dynasty Qing, who is remembered primarily for his stubborn fight against smuggling of opium by the British in Guangzhou, a fight that triggered firing of the famous first opium war between 1839 and 1842.
