Museums and Cultural Landscapes is the theme of International Museum Day 2016. This theme highlights the responsibility of museums not only on their collections, but also their environment, including the cities, villages and communities to which they belong, and calls on them to promote and communicate about both their own collections and the cultural and natural heritage around them. Museums of all kinds can contribute to sustainable development by strengthening ties between people and their environment. In response to the theme of the International Museum Day, and to achieve the objective of museums in Macao going into the community so as to enlarge the public space of service provision, the Maritime Museum, Macao Museum and Communications Museum cooperate to promote the photography contest with the theme “The Mobile Museum – The Blending of Chinese and Western Cultures in Macao”.
