Museums

Macau is such as living museum that it hardly needs yo build them, but it does and the result are like nothing you'll have seen before. For instance the Maritime Museum is like a ship moored at the entrance of the Inner Harbour, the Museum of Macau has been built inside the foundations of the Monte Fort, the Taipa Houses Museum are restored houses on Taipa and the Pawnshop Museum is found in a fortress-like building that was a pawnshop until very recently. Of course some museum were purpose-built like the Grand Prix and Wine Museums that are part of the CAT (Tourism Activities Cantre) complex, however once you enter them you'll find yourself transported to the world of Formula 3 racing or the vineyards of Portugal.
