Handover Gifts Museum of Macao
澳門回歸賀禮陳列館
Displays gifts presented by the central government and by provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across China for Macao's 1999 handover. Admission is free, making it a good rainy-day option.
The Handover Gifts Museum of Macao is beside the Macao Cultural Centre and opened in 2004. It displays gifts presented in 1999 by the central government and by provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across China to mark Macao's return. These include a model of the 'Lotus of Prosperity' sculpture presented by the State Council, and jade carvings, embroidery, lacquerware and ceramics from various regions. The museum also has an exhibition on Macao's handover. Admission is free. It is generally open 10:00–19:00 and closed on Mondays. The exhibits are beautiful and the route is compact, so a visit takes about an hour. It can be paired with the Macao Museum of Art and Golden Lotus Square.
