Macau is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People’s Republic of
China. Located across the Pearl River estuary from Hong Kong, until 1999 Macau
was an overseas territory of Portugal. One of the world’s most densely
populated spots, Macau generates more revenue from gambling than anywhere else
on the planet, including more than seven times the revenue generated by “The
Strip” in Las Vegas.
Macau Museum was inaugurated in
1998. Its aim is to preserve the cultural traditions, usages and habits, which
specifically belong to Macau, in a place where East, and West have so
peculiarly learned how to meet and to live side by side along the centuries.
