There is a Catholic Art Museum behind the Ruins of St. Paul’s?

#MacauAttractions Behind the Ruins of St. Paul’s in Macau, there is a breathtaking museum hidden - the Museum of Catholic Art! The Ruins of St. Paul's Catholic Museum was built into a museum in 1995. Visitors can admire historical portraits and take a close look at the disappeared Church of Our Lady of the Catholic Church. They can also visit a cemetery where martyrs from all over the world were buried. The museum also houses many representative paintings, sculptures and ceremonial ornaments from various churches and monasteries in Macau! ! The design of the museum was inspired by the "Chinese version of the Church of Light". It is simple and modern. The black cross and the warm marble stele complement each other, like a fortress summoning light. Skeletons are actually stored in the display cases on both sides, but the display cases themselves have no lighting and do not emphasize the exhibits, using the spatial perception as the only narrative theme. Although the entire museum is not large in area, every step offers a new view through clever use of height differences. This design technique allows rich visual changes to be experienced even in a limited space. If you come to the Ruins of St. Paul’s, remember not to miss the Museum of Catholic Art hidden behind it! !
