Admission is free and participants aged fourteen and above are welcome to join. The presentation included in the activity “Getting to know the Archaeology of Macau” held in Carmo Hall (Taipa), will introduce the subject of archaeology, the archaeological works conducted in Macao and how archaeological heritage is protected by the “Cultural Heritage Protection Law”, allowing participants to gain a general understanding of these topics.
