Macau’s Maritime Museum exhibits
Glyn Genin/Apa Publications
Macau’s oldest museum, the Maritime Museum (www.museumaritimo.gov.mo; Wed–Mon 10am–6pm; charge) traces the history of Macau’s connection to the sea. Exhibits cover fishing, seaborne trade and sea transport, and there is an aquarium. The museum also offers boat tours aboard a fishing junk.
The museum is almost on the spot where the Portuguese first landed. When they came ashore they found the A-Ma Temple (properly called Ma Kok Temple; daily dawn–dusk), dedicated to the favourite goddess of fishermen, who is also known as Tin Hau. The area was called A-Ma Gau (Bay of A-Ma), which is the source of Macau’s name. The ornate, picturesque temple dates from the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) and is the oldest building in Macau.
