[2025 Macau Attraction] Travel Guide for Polly MGM Museum (Updated Jan)

The MGM Macau Museum is currently showcasing four of the original bronze zodiac heads from the Old Summer Palace: the Monkey, Ox, Tiger, and Pig. These remarkable artifacts will be on display until mid to late January next year, after which replicas will replace them. Notably, the Pig head was acquired by the renowned patriotic entrepreneur Ho Hung Sun and donated to the Poly Art Museum. The exhibition is beautifully curated, featuring specially designed non-reflective glass, making it a perfect spot for photos. The bronze heads, cast in red copper, have withstood the test of time, with every strand of hair visible. Historical Background: These zodiac heads date back to the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty. They were designed by Italian court painter Giuseppe Castiglione, supervised by French missionary Michel Benoist, and crafted by Chinese court artisans. Originally, they were part of the fountain in front of the Haiyantang at the Old Summer Palace, serving both decorative and timekeeping purposes. Each zodiac head would spout water at its corresponding hour, with all twelve spouting simultaneously at noon. Tickets are available at the entrance for on-the-spot collection. #MGMZodiacHeadsExhibition #OldSummerPalaceZodiacHeads #ZodiacHeads #Exhibition #OldSummerPalace

The Macau Poly MGM Museum is currently showcasing four genuine animal head sculptures: the Ox, Tiger, Monkey, and Pig. This museum is renowned for its non-reflective glass displays, allowing visitors to see the intricate details of the sculptures' hair clearly. It's a moving experience, and many hope for the reunion of all twelve animal heads soon. Located at the Macau Poly MGM Museum, not to be confused with the MGM Cotai, visitors can reach the museum by taking the shuttle bus after crossing the border to Macau. Once you arrive, navigate to the "Sky Plaza" for the exhibition. Admission is free, but you need to book your visit in advance. Simply follow these steps: 1. Use the "MGM" public account to select your desired date for reservation. 2. Collect your tickets upon arrival. During holidays, you might need to queue at the service desk due to high demand. #HistoryAndCulture #MustVisitMuseum #ArtExhibition #MGM #YuanmingyuanAnimalHeads #UnforgottenTimes #Macau25thAnniversary #Homecoming

In a world where chaos often leads to separation, the MGM Museum in Macau brings together the splendor of the past. I specifically visited to see the four legendary animal heads, and I was truly amazed by the craftsmanship of ancient artisans. The lifelike details and the glossy texture of the fur are simply mesmerizing. The museum employs high-tech glass that allows for 360-degree photography without any glare, enhancing the viewing experience tremendously. #MGMmuseum #MacauMGMmuseum #ancientcraftsmanship

Visiting the Zodiac Heads exhibition in Macau has become a must-see attraction. Located at the MGM Cotai Poly Museum's Blue Ribbon Exhibition, this event is free and offers online reservations or on-site ticket collection. Online reservations can be made up to 14 days in advance, while on-site tickets are available every hour, with 200 tickets on weekdays and 400 on weekends. The exhibition runs from November 2, 2024, to September 2025, with the possibility of genuine artifacts being displayed until late December or mid-January, after which replicas may be used. The exhibition's highlights include the gathering of four major zodiac heads from the Old Summer Palace: the ox, tiger, monkey, and pig. The lighting and scenery are beautifully arranged, allowing visitors to appreciate the artifacts without any glass reflections. The exhibition demonstrates a deep respect and care for these cultural relics. Macau is indeed the right place to witness these masterpieces of Qing Dynasty craftsmanship, with their impressive texture and detail. Pay special attention to the pig head, which has a dent that might have been caused by a robbery. Although these artifacts cannot speak, they hope to convey their stories to you. A little background: these zodiac heads were part of the fountain installation at the Haiyantang in the Old Summer Palace, each spouting water every hour to symbolize the cycle of time. Currently, the whereabouts of the snake, goat, rooster, and dragon heads remain unknown. Why are we so fascinated by the zodiac heads? They carry significant emotional and historical weight for us. The twelve zodiac signs symbolize the cycle of time and the hope for reunion, deeply rooted in our culture. Each zodiac head is a witness to history, scattered overseas, carrying the painful memories of our nation. The return of these heads is like a 'long-lost family member' coming home, causing a sensation and holding profound significance. The snake, goat, and others remain missing, and our wait for 'reunion' continues. Next year is the Year of the Snake. Will the elusive snake head bring us a surprise? Or does its return still require the passage of time? Every gaze upon the zodiac heads is a quest for completeness and reunion, a search for our connection with history, culture, and ourselves. #MGM #ZodiacHeadsExhibition #PolyMGMuseum

The mysterious maritime exploration exhibition, "Blue Ribbon," offers a chance to encounter relics from the Silk Road. Today, I had the privilege of seeing four original zodiac heads (Ox, Pig, Monkey, Tiger) at the Poly MGM Museum. The destruction of the Old Summer Palace, a story from our elementary school textbooks, still lingers in my memory. There are still five zodiac heads yet to return, and we hope they come home soon! 📍 Exhibition Location: Macau MGM (2nd Floor) - Poly MGM Museum. Note: Make sure to visit the MGM on the Macau Peninsula, not the MGM Cotai on the Taipa Peninsula. 🗓 Exhibition Dates: November 2, 2024, to September 30, 2025 (There are rumors that replicas of the zodiac heads will be displayed from mid-January or late January). Monday to Thursday: 11:00 AM - 7:00 PM, Friday: 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM, Saturday, Sunday, and Public Holidays: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM.

It's best to arrive a bit early for fewer crowds and better photo opportunities with the zodiac heads! #PolyMGMMuseum #TwelveZodiacHeads #OldSummerPalace

I finally had the chance to see the free exhibition of the Yuanmingyuan Zodiac Heads in Macau, after missing it in Beijing due to scheduling conflicts.

The exhibition spans from the Tang Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, featuring ceramics, coins, pottery figurines, bronze mirrors, and gold and silver artifacts.

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Macau's return to China, we owe thanks to Pansy Ho for allowing us to view four precious zodiac heads from the Old Summer Palace. Among them, the horse and pig heads were auctioned by Stanley Ho and donated to the Old Summer Palace. 1. Interior Design: Beyond the artifacts, the venue's interior is particularly stunning, featuring Afghan white jade, Amazon green luxury stone, and French red silk marble used as floor tiles. 2. Display Cases: The display cases are made from the finest materials, with lighting and reflections carefully managed to ensure the glass is non-reflective. 3. Background: The backdrop for the four zodiac heads is a digital recreation of the Haiyantang from the Old Summer Palace, blending reality with virtual elements and modern with ancient, creating a strong sense of time travel. While the materials appear expensive, the craftsmanship is even more so. Simply piling up materials does not equate to luxury. Many hotels may look opulent but lack the sophisticated ideology and aesthetic accumulation of old money to truly present luxury. This exhibition is a true visual feast. #MustVisitMuseum #Macau #OldSummerPalaceZodiacHeads #MGM #ZodiacHeads #MGMGrandMacau #PolyMGMArtMuseum

The MGM Cotai Museum in Macau is truly impressive. With exquisite design, 3D scanning of exhibits, and synchronized records from the Age of Exploration, it offers a unique experience. The highlight is undoubtedly the exhibition of the zodiac animal heads from the Old Summer Palace. Currently, four of these heads are on display at MGM, making it difficult to get a close-up photo due to the crowd. The bronze heads are incredibly lifelike, with even the hair appearing three-dimensional. As historical witnesses of the Qing Dynasty's plunder and destruction by foreign powers, eight of these heads have now returned, and we look forward to the day when all twelve zodiac heads are reunited. However, it's worth noting that the value of many artifacts has been exaggerated. Some artifacts with fabricated stories have appeared at auctions with inflated prices, possibly for money laundering purposes. Even when regarded as Western sculptures, these animal heads are mediocre. In the context of Chinese art and aesthetics, they are merely ordinary relics, with their worth being overrated. #MGMmuseum #MGMcotai #MacauMGM

Today, let's take a look at the Yuanmingyuan Zodiac Heads at the Poly MGM Museum through live images. Understanding the history of these artifacts helps us appreciate their deep-seated value. Before visiting the Zodiac Heads exhibition, listen to this story: In 1860, the Anglo-French Allied Forces looted the Yuanmingyuan, taking countless treasures, including the twelve Zodiac Heads. Like the others, the Pig Head was forced to leave its homeland and ended up in a foreign country. When visiting the museum, pay attention to the noticeable dent on the back of the Pig Head. This 'scar of history' likely resulted from the invaders when they smashed the statue. It serves as a reminder not to forget the past. To date, seven of the twelve Zodiac Heads have returned. The Poly MGM Museum exhibits four genuine heads: the Ox, Tiger, Monkey, and Pig. We invite you to witness their 'true' form. However, the whereabouts of the Snake, Goat, Rooster, and Dog Heads remain unknown. We hope all wandering artifacts can return home soon and no longer be adrift. #YuanmingyuanZodiacHeads #Museum #PolyMGMMuseum

A recent visit to the MGM Museum in Macau left me utterly amazed, with the word 'wealth' echoing in my mind. Located within the MGM building, right next to the MGM Casino, the museum offers free tickets at the entrance despite being fully booked online, allowing visitors to enter as they arrive. The exhibition's theme revolves around the cultural exchange and connections along the Maritime Silk Road, featuring fifteen national first-class cultural relics. Among these are the famous Yuanmingyuan animal heads of the ox, tiger, monkey, and pig, along with exquisite shipwreck ceramics and gold and silver artifacts. Guided tours are available in Cantonese and Mandarin, though the Mandarin commentary is somewhat less fluent. Overall, it's highly recommended! The dome at the entrance symbolizes 'under the dome, all is the sea of stars.' Upon entry, a massive screen plays a stunning one-minute video, each frame worthy of being a gilded postcard. The 'Monsoon' section explores the understanding of ocean currents and navigation by Eastern and Western peoples. The 'Cultural Context' section showcases artifacts from various shipwreck sites, including beautiful export ceramics. The 'Fusion' section is the highlight, featuring silver teapots, gilded incense pouches, and coins illustrating the mutual influence of Eastern and Western cultures, with the Yuanmingyuan animal heads being particularly striking. The final 'Connection' section displays contemporary artworks. Don't forget to look up and down: the columns feature cloisonné enamel brackets, and the floor is inlaid with totems from 12 countries along the Silk Road, showcasing exquisite attention to detail. This is the most opulent museum I've ever seen, resembling a luxury hotel with no unpleasant odors, a pleasant fragrance, a black and gold color scheme that's not gloomy, spacious yet not empty, and large screens everywhere displaying high-quality content with impressive special effects. Most importantly, the glass doesn't reflect at all, allowing for perfect photos of the animal heads (a stark contrast to the National Museum). I wish this technology could be implemented nationwide. #Macau #MGM #CulturalExhibition

Embark on a journey to Macau to witness the awe-inspiring Zodiac Heads of Yuanmingyuan. The four bronze heads are truly breathtaking! Visiting the museum, you'll notice the glass doesn't reflect, offering a clear view of these magnificent pieces. We arrived at the MGM Cotai at 3:30 PM on a Saturday and waited in line for about half an hour. Viewing the Zodiac Heads is time-limited to 3 minutes, but including time for photos and exploring other areas, the entire visit takes about an hour and a half, making efficient use of your time. For those looking to capture photos with the Zodiac Heads, weekdays or early mornings when the museum opens are ideal as there are fewer visitors. However, if you visit during peak times like we did, with time restrictions, focus on taking individual photos of the heads first. After your time is up, stay on the left side of the outer area, find a good spot, and wait for the perfect moment between groups to capture additional shots during the brief 30-second gap. #YuanmingyuanZodiacHeads #MacauMGM #MacauMuseum

Although it is a new museum, it is full of cultural and artistic atmosphere! The decoration is a good example. The multimedia ceiling in the front hall makes you feel like you are in the starry sea when you step in. The dougong adopts the intangible cultural heritage of Chinese palaces, which is exquisite and iconic.
