Themed racing exhibition at Macao Grand Prix Museum
To promote the culture of the Macau Grand Prix, the Macao Grand Prix Museum and Macau Artist Society jointly organize the Racing Art Exhibition – “Speed”. In parallel with the Labor Day Holiday, some 30 artworks about car racing are displayed in the Macao Grand Prix Museum for museumgoers’ appreciation starting from today until 31 August.
The wax figures of eight internationally-renowned racing drivers have recently come into the spotlight at the Macao Grand Prix Museum. The drivers include John Macdonald, Ron Haslam, Ayrton Senna, Michael Rutter, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Robert Huff and Edoardo Mortara. With also the multimedia interactive features and other exhibits which manifest the city’s colorful “tourism +”, the Museum sincerely invites residents and visitors for a first-hand experience on festive holidays.
Exhibited next to their racing cars, the eight lively statues reflect the glamour of these drivers in racing outfits. The exquisite waxworks of the globally prestigious brand Madame Tussauds vividly capture the demeanor of the motor racers. For a review of wax figure production, please watch the highlight videos “Moment of glory: The making of Macau Grand Prix Legends' wax figures” on MGTO’s official YouTube channel: https://www.macaotourism.gov.mo/en/video-playlists?playing=2550.
