Macau and Malacca to establish Macau Gallery

The government of Macau Special Administrative Region and the Malacca Historic City Council have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a Macau Gallery and to strengthen cooperation as well as promote mutual tourism and culture.

The Macau Gallery is located only ten minutes away from central Malacca. The building was previously a governmental department of the authority of Malacca built in typical Siam style and is part of the historical heritage in Malacca. This two-storey architecture has an area of about 3,000 square meters.

The Gallery will showcase the arts and culture of Macau as well as the history of Macau and Malacca.

Malaysia is one of the major source markets of Macau. Last year, Macau received 450,000 visitors from Malaysia, an increase of 12.28% over 2007 which makes it the 4th highest visitor generating market.

At present, Malaysia Airlines flies several times weekly between Macau and Kuala Lumpur, while AirAsia provides 21 services a week between the two places. Starting from March, AirAsia will add a new service between Macau and Penang.
