👍 Small but interesting museum. If no considering it is a museum about Macau, the most beautiful exhibit is that elegant jar (yuhuchun) of Yuan Dynasty. People often mention museum, Macau, Macao, interesting, Portuguese, visit, para, China, museu, collection,

    Paid 3 euros with the lisbon pass card, but didn't get any tickets, because the ticket guy said the system is down, interesting others who wrote in the guests book also mentioned this problem. This place feels like still in development as it is understaffed, only 2 person on the ground floor, nobody on the floors above.

    August 13st, 1:40 PM. Doors closed. Nothing mentioned on the door (like vacations or anything) or on the website. Luckily I live 5 minutes away, but I feel sorry for those who travel further, such somebody that has commented before me. I will send an e-mail to the people in charge, because it doesn't seem to be the only time that this happened, considering the comments.

    An interesting museum with collection of artifacts from Macao and presenting history of age of discovery as Portuguese entered Macao. there are many interactive sections in the museum and the flow of information is very amusing and engaging for the visitors. Last but not the least positive point, is the presence of friendly staff on the site.

    One of my best expiriences in Lisbon. Small muzeum, first floor is about history, trade and trade routes, religion etc. Its filled with maps, models, guns, statues and interactive expositions. Upper floor is dedicated to the chinesse art.

    It's a bit hidden away but it's definitely worth your time. The garden is great to chill out and the permanent exhibition is very interesting.

    For me understand the history of Portugal and Macau means to understand why this culture is so present here.

    If you are interested in how Macao came to be... this is for you. Some beautiful artifacts and charts

    A little haven of peace in an unexpected place. The little garden, the little collection which is well worth a careful look and isn't oversized... this place seems to faithfully reflect a certain Far Eastern ethos of sober peaceful and uncluttered harmony. Oh and the toilets are very clean!

    (Translated by Google) Extraordinary shows of the Portuguese presence in China, especially in Macau, from mid-doses. XVI until the end of the century. XX. Parts very well exposed, some with animation, is a museum not to be missed to anyone who wants to increase their knowledge about Lusas relations with the Middle Kingdom. (Original) Extraordinária mostra da presença portuguesa na China, em especial em Macau, desde meados doses. XVI até ao final do século. XX. Peças muito bem expostas, algumas com animação, é um museu a não perder a quem quiser aumentar os seus conhecimentos sobre as relações Lusas com o Império do Meio.

  • 5/5 Leo L. 4 years ago on Google
    Worth seeing because Macau was the very first European colony on Chinese soil and the last to leave.

    (Translated by Google) A museum focused on exchanges with Macau. You can enjoy high-class exhibitions through various interactions. It is a familiar content for East Asian people, but it can be seen from a different perspective because it was exhibited from the Portuguese side. (Original) 마카오와의 교류를 중심으로 한 박물관. 다양한 상호작용을 통해 수준급의 전시를 누릴 수 있음. 동아시아인에게는 익숙한 컨텐츠면서도, 포르투갈의 입장에서 전시했기때문에 색다른 관점을 엿볼 수 있음

    (Translated by Google) It is a place worth visiting, although small it has a very interesting interactive exhibition, and presents a fantastic estate. As it is little known rarely have people, which makes the visit very pleasant. (Original) É um local que vale a pena visitar, apesar de pequeno tem uma exposição interativa muito interessante, e apresenta um espólio fantástico.

  • 3/5 Aran D. 3 years ago on Google
    La colección y el discurso museográfico son muy interesantes para comprender las relaciones entre Portugal y China en el siglo XVI. Sin embargo, ha sido decepcionante visitarlo y encontrar que la mitad de la colección de la segunda planta estaba ausente, al igual que algunas piezas de la primera planta. No había un aviso advirtiendo de ello ni una reducción del precio de la entrada en consecuencia.

  • 5/5 Liliana R. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Loved the museum, it has 2 floors full of history. On the top floor is the attic where the Mandarin lessons are held. Small replicas of the Portuguese Naus as well as the Chinese porcelain. No ATM. Entry € 3 per adult. No parking, but there are some parking lots in the area. During the week parking is paid. Look at the pictures I took. Small outdoor garden and a pond with fish. (Original) Adorei o museu, tem 2 andares cheios de história. No último andar situa se o sótão onde se realizam as aulas de mandarim. Pequenas réplicas das Naus portuguesas assim como a porcelana chinesa. Sem multibanco. Entrada 3€ por adulto. Sem estacionamento, mas tem alguns estacionamentos na zona. Durante a semana o estacionamento é pago. Vejam as fotos que tirei. Pequeno jardim no exterior e um lago com peixes.

    (Translated by Google) An easy-to-reach place, without huge queues, outside the traditional tourist routes in Lisbon and therefore not super crowded, with admission to 3 euros and with incredible pieces. The tranquility of the museum gives you the opportunity to observe everything with calm and attention. It is a wealth of detail and wonderful information. The place has access for people with reduced mobility. (Original) Um local de fácil acesso, sem filas enormes, fora das rotas turísticas tradicionais em Lisboa e portanto não está super lotado, com ingresso a 3 euros e com peças incríveis. A tranquilidade do museu te dá a oportunidade de observar tudo com calma e atenção. É uma riqueza de detalhes e informações maravilhosas. O local dispõem de acesso para pessoas com mobilidade reduzida.

    (Translated by Google) At the foot of the Santo Amaro hill is the Centro Cientifico and Cultural de Macao. Almost unknown to tourism, it was opened in 1999. Cultural center and museum dedicated to the dissemination of the culture of Macao, considered the most faithful of the Portuguese colonies, which was in fact under Portuguese sovereignty from 1557 to 1999. The center has a library , conference room and exhibition hall. The museum collects one of the most important collection of Chinese art of the Iberian peninsula, highlighting the peculiarity of Macao compared to the rest of China. Here we can see the influence of Portuguese art in Chinese and vice versa. The museum is small but very interesting. (Original) Ai piedi della collina di Santo Amaro si trova il Centro Cientifico e Cultural de Macao. Quasi sconosciuto al turismo, è stato aperto nel 1999. Centro culturale e museo dedicato alla divulgazione della cultura di Macao, considerata la più fedele delle colonie portoghesi, che fu di fatto sotto la sovranità Portoghese dal 1557 al 1999. Il centro è fornito di biblioteca, sala conferenze e sala espositiva. Il museo raccoglie una delle più importante collezione di arte cinese della penisola Iberica, evidenziando la peculiarità di Macao rispetto al resto della Cina. Qui si può notare l’influenza dell’arte portoghese in quella cinese e viceversa. Il museo è piccolo ma molto interessante.

    Haven't seen the museum but You can lunch here for very cheap!

  • 5/5 Luis 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The center hosts a space where balanced meals are offered, I think only lunches, at great prices, with a quiet atmosphere and some decorative notes that transport us to historical relations, which we seem to have forgotten in the meantime. Access by a small interior garden that prepares us for the environment that awaits us. The service is relaxed and prompt. If you want to visit the museum you will have to purchase the ticket. (Original) O centro acolhe um espaço onde se oferecem refeições equilibradas, acho que apenas almoços, a ótimos preços, com ambiente sossegado e alguns apontamentos decorativos que nos transportam para relações históricas, que parece, termos esquecido entretanto. Acesso por um pequeno jardim interior que nos prepara para o ambiente que nos espera. O serviço é descontraído e solicito. Se pretender visitar o museu terá que adquirir o bilhete.
