The Heritage Exhibition of a Traditional Pawnshop Business (Шаблон:Zh; Шаблон:Lang-pt) is a public museum in , Macau, China.

History

The building was originally established in 1917 as the Virtue and Success Pawnshop (Шаблон:Zh; Tak Seng On Pawnshop) by Kou Ho Neng and Wong Hung Shan.[1][2] The shop was closed in 1993 due to the decline in pawnshop business. In 2000, the Secretariat for Social Affairs and Culture restored the shop building to its original design.[3] It was then opened to the public on 21 March 2003. The building received an Honorable Mention in the UNESCO 2004 Asia-Pacific Awards for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage and was selected as an Urban Best Practices Area by Shanghai World Expo 2010.[4]

Architecture

The building consists of two blocks, which are the front block of a three-story pawnshop and a bank and the rear block of a seven-story storehouse.[5]
