Jointly organized by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) and the Macao Cultural Heritage Reinventing Studies Association, “Where the World Heritage Shines – Photography Exhibition of the Historic Centre of Macao” was recently inaugurated at the Old Court Building in the center of Macau.
Featuring 100 photographs of heritage-
listed sites, the exhibition by local photographer Chan Hin Io, aims to reveal the beauty and vitality of Macau’s cultural heritage from different angles.
The author said that the works on display aim to offer new perspectives on the city’s World Heritage sites. For that purpose, he included photographs taken from high above and from a distance, offering different visions of commonly known places and venues.
