Traveler reviews
Hunor Gocz
★★★★★5 months agoThis is honestly one of the best museums I’ve ever been to. They have a lot of interesting exhibitions and I liked a lot that there is a nice description (also in English) everywhere where you can learn interesting facts about the history, culture and how people lived here. Especially for the 15MOP entry fee it is a bargain. Highway recommended. Also go to the top of the museum there is a garden. The view of the city is super good from there. You can actually go there for free if you cannot make it to the museum.

★★★★★3 months agoThis museum is perfect if you want to learn more about Macao, the history, the culture and the traditions. Everything is translated in English which was useful for us. It's quite a large museum with a lot of things to see and learn. Also, the museum is nicely designed with some immersive decors which makes you travel back in time. There is also a nice terrace at the top of the museum when you exit. The view is great from there! Definitely recommend to visit this museum if you're in Macao.
