St. Dominic's Church Museum - Treasure of Sacred Art — Attraction in Sé

The Treasure of Sacred Art Museum (free entry) is found within the grounds of St. Dominic's Church, just off Senado Square. This is one of several attractions in the area that include gallery room viewing of historical and religious artefacts.

The artefacts seen here are spaced out over a three storey, single room floors. Most items date from the late 19th century to mid 20th century and are of uncertain origin, likely directly made here in Macau, in Portugal or perhaps Latin America.

Unfortunately, display labels could be better and small items in the cases are labeled and numbered somewhat haphazardly, making it difficult to find and read the descriptions. However, the items themselves are interesting to see and complement your visit to the St. Dominic's Church fine.

For a better managed collection of religious artefacts, you can visit the nearby Museum Of The Holy House Of Mercy (MOP5 per person), which is directly on Senado Square, not 2 minutes walk from this museum. Here you will find older and more important artefacts as well as a booklet to help you identify the pieces are you are looking at.

Tip: both of these museums can be comfortably visited in...

You can not miss this site. It's in several post cards and ref magnets, but other than that, it's a free museum that has a bigger collection than the other museum in senado that charges 10MOP.

It's pretty quiet, and you would enjoy it if you're a museum buff interested in religious antiques. I like the topmost floor for its large bells and interesting roof.

Take note of the opening hours because they follow...

Nice to complement the historic St Dominic's Church next door and see some historical artefacts relating to Catholicism in Macau. Considering it is FREE, it's nice to explore and look around. Doable in...
