Engorged in 1990, the museum pursues the characteristic museum outlines of a European style. The displays discover main themes in the history of the marine diligence in Macau, China and Portugal. The main structure of the museum is a three-storey pasty building, built in the shape of a boat in bursting sail. Big glass windowpanes offer the chimera of a surveillance tower of a boat.
