Pawnshop Museum

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:59:12

This museum housed inside the former Tak Seng On (‘virtue and success’) pawnshop offers an atmospheric glimpse into Macau's pawnshop business, which dates back to the Qing dynasty. Built in 1917, it comprises an office, a lobby and an eight-storey, fortress-like tower. On display is equipment from the original establishment, safes where goods were stored and financial records.
