Several museums under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC, from the Portuguese acronym), will resume public guided tours and group guided tours from 1 August (Saturday). These museum spaces include the Macao Museum, the Macao Museum of Art, the Taipa Houses, the Museum of Taipa and Coloane History, and the Xian Xinghai Memorial Museum, while the Handover Gifts Museum of Macao will provide group guided tours only. In order to cooperate with the epidemic prevention measures, the number of participants in the guided tours will be limited.

The schedule for public guided tours and the booking method for group guided tours remain unchanged (for more information, please refer to the table below). IC has strengthened the cleaning and disinfection in all facilities, all participants in the guided tours must wear their own face masks, undergo temperature checks, and present a “Macao Health Code” of the day, as well as comply with the crowd control measures on-site.
