Macau Gallery Melaka[a] (Malay: Galeri Macau Melaka; traditional Chinese: 馬六甲澳門展館; simplified Chinese: 马六甲澳门展馆; pinyin: Mǎliùjiǎ Àomén Zhǎnguǎn) was a gallery set up by the Government of Malacca in collaboration with the Government of Macau to promote and exhibit the culture and arts of Macau.[1] It occupied the building which has a total built up area of 3,000 m2 and is made up of Straits-themed tiles and Siamese architecture, initially built as a British colonial government office before World War II.[2][3]
History
Both Malacca and Macau had been part of the Portuguese Empire.
Macau Gallery was first proposed by the Government of Malacca led by Mohd Ali Rustam, when the Chief Executive of Macau Edmund Ho paid an official visit to the state in 2007. After both governments agreed on a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the management of the heritage building in 2009,[4][5] the building was then renovated and converted into the gallery today, which was opened on 26 June 2012.[6][7] The gallery was divided into four exhibition zones, which are: Macau Events, Macau World Heritage, Maritime Routes and "Origins and Culture". As of today, the gallery was shut down and converted into state government office.[citation needed]
