Natural and Agrarian Museum

The Natural and Agrarian Museum in Coloane displays traditional farming tools, plant specimens from the region, and information about how agriculture developed in this area. The exhibits are arranged to show how these objects and plants were actually used in local life over time.

The museum was founded in 1997 to record how farming practices in the Macau region changed over time. The collection documents the shift from older to newer agricultural methods in this area.

The collection shows how farming shaped daily life and traditions in this area, displaying plants and methods that communities have used for generations. Walking through the exhibits reveals how closely local people have always been connected to the land they work.

The museum is best visited during daytime hours when natural light illuminates the displays and everything is easy to see. It helps to allow enough time to look carefully at the different objects and information panels throughout the space.

The museum preserves a collection of plant species that are native to this region but rarely grown today. These botanical specimens show which varieties were once common and why some of them faded from use.
