[March 21, 2025, Macau] As a pioneering global cultural hall, the Poly MGM Museum (hereinafter referred to as the "Museum") interprets the rich connotation of world culture from a unique perspective and reproduces the millennium line of the Silk Road. Within four months since its opening in November 2024, the museum has quickly become a destination for cultural enthusiasts and tourists to grow with its breakthrough architectural design, technology and the perfect blend of Eastern and Western cultures. Having attracted nearly 600,000 visitors, it has won four international design awards including the German iF Design Award (Interior Architecture and Cultural Exhibition Category), reshaping Macau's cultural landscape. From shocking multimedia installations to ingenious exhibition spaces, every detail in the museum leads the audience on an immersive journey through art, history and innovation.

The world-renowned iF Design Award – known as the "Oscar of the design industry" since its founding in 1953 – marks another milestone for MGM in the design field. This honor has enabled the museum to stand side by side with Kunming Shanhai Art Museum, as well as the "Art of Life - Mawangdui Han Dynasty Culture Immersive Digital Exhibition" jointly created by the China Digital Library and Hunan Museum.

At the same time, the museum also won the 2024 MUSE Design Award Platinum Award (Interior Design Category), the 2024 London Design Award Platinum Award (Interior Design Category), and the 2024 New York Architectural Design Award (Interior Design Category). Each honor not only highlights the museum's outstanding achievements in the field of design, but also highlights its profound cultural heritage, making it among the world's top cultural landmarks.

Museum design opens a new era

As an iconic cultural landmark in Macau, the Poly MGM Museum has won global acclaim with its unique design language. In the immersive vestibule of the museum, a magnificent multimedia dome installation interprets the interweaving of celestial movements and human memory in the form of visual poems. The iconic bracket columns in the exhibition hall are a treasure of traditional Chinese architectural craftsmanship. The surface is decorated with exquisite cloisonné (copper-tied cloisonné enamel) intangible cultural heritage, which perfectly combines historical skills with modern aesthetics, which is breathtaking.

The museum abandons the design rude of traditional museums, and its innovative exhibition space gives the exhibition unparalleled flexibility and diversity. The chessboard-style stone floor is inlaid with cultural totems from 12 countries along the Silk Road, as if leading the audience on a symbolic journey, recreating the glorious footprints of the ancient Silk Road from east to west. Advanced cultural relics display technology and intangible cultural heritage crafts complement each other, creating an interactive platform for the audience, allowing them to communicate with historical relics and contemporary art in a completely new way. Through careful planning of cross-time and space dialogues between Eastern and Western civilizations, the museum presents an extraordinary cultural feast to the audience that transcends regional boundaries and breaks through imagination.

Poly MGM Museum was specially commissioned by Poly Culture Group and MGM to jointly create a museum space by leading Korean cultural technology companies and well-known Chinese company King Dalu Exhibition Decoration Co., Ltd. It is famous internationally for its cutting-edge technology and innovative design, while Jin Dalu is known for its profound cultural heritage and superb construction strength.
