Maritime Museum Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Maritime Museum is located in front of the A-Ma Temple, and the exhibition building is where the Portuguese landed. The museum is shaped like a ship. The former dock has been changed to a square. You can play a remote-controlled model boat in the pool, or you can take a simulated submersible to experience the feeling of diving. The museum is divided into four areas: Maritime Folklore Exhibition Hall, History Exhibition Hall, Technology Exhibition Hall, and Aquarium. On the first floor wall is a giant tile painting depicting various compass bearing marks. In the Maritime History Exhibition Hall, you can see the models of ships used by Portuguese navigators during the Great Discovery period. In addition, there is a three-dimensional model of the 17th century, and there are shipwrecks obtained from archaeology in the showcase next to it, giving a glimpse of the mystery of underwater archaeology. Go up to the second floor to see the exhibitions of navigation technology and maritime transportation. There are nautical instruments such as octants, telescopes, compass, etc., which simulate the night view of the waterway. Under the northern hemisphere sky model, you can experience night voyages to see the stars and appreciate the importance of stargazing to navigation. There is also an aquarium with 4 aquariums in the museum, showing the water droplet environment of freshwater rivers, harbour waters, coral reefs, and deep-sea shipwrecks.

such a nice place to include on your bucketlist when you visit macau...
Free museum tour, popularize navigation knowledge and models of how fishermen fish in the sea; also tell the history of Macau's opening in the 17th century. The design of the whole museum is very distinctive, even the bathroom feels like being on the boat.
Macau is too small, the land is expensive, the population density is too large, and the various facilities in Macau are relatively small, but relatively complete. I visited the Mazu Temple and accidentally saw it in the left corner of the square. There is a blue and white three-story small building with a maritime museum written at the gate. This is the Macau Maritime Museum, because Macau is close to the sea, is an ocean city, and maritime trade has developed. So it is not surprising that there is a maritime museum, which was once the place where the Portuguese landed. A dragon boat was seen on the right side of the gate, which is used by Macau to participate in the dragon boat competition. The museum is not expensive, AUD 10. The museum is like a Mitsubishi boat with a white sail, moored in front of the Ma Pavilion Temple. The underground exhibition hall mainly introduces the life of fishermen in southern China and Macau. The exhibits include various Chinese sailboats, fish bars in the inner harbor, and explaining various fishing methods.
This has been planted for a long time, today finally has time, no thunder at all, the whole process is very enjoyable
The Maritime Museum is located opposite the Mazu Temple, detailing the theme of the Macau Peninsula and the sea culture.
