Although it is not the best known of Macau attractions, and is not as famous as "The Historic Centre of Macau" or the Ruins of St. Paul's, the handover Gifts Museum of Macau is well worth the visit...
|
Housed in ultra-modern glass and still building that stands exactly where the 1999 handover ceremony took place, this museum displays all those gifts that were bestowed upon Macau and its residents by the government of the People's Republic of China, as well as by the various counties, municipalities and autonomous regions of China (including Hong Kong).
Each of the gifts is a beautiful piece of art that reflects the artistic skills of the region from where it originated... really awesome !
