Showcasing the charm of cultural heritage and the ingenuity of innovative curation, POLY MGM MUSEUM has captivated audiences since its debut, attracting visitors from Macau, Hong Kong, Mainland China, and over 40 countries and regions worldwide. Today (November 20), the Museum celebrated the remarkable milestone by welcoming its one millionth visitor. To mark this momentous occasion, Kenneth Feng, President and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings Limited, presented the lucky visitor - Ms. Zhai Guoying from Guangxi, China — with an exclusive commemorative gift.

Thrilled to become the one-millionth visitor, Ms. Zhai received a 100-gram pure gold “Ruyi” ornament, specially prepared by the Museum, symbolizing good fortune and the enduring legacy of cultural heritage. The atmosphere was vibrant as over 100 MGM team members gathered to witness and cheer for this joyful moment.

Sharing her excitement, Ms. Zhai said that visiting POLY MGM MUSEUM with her family was already a memorable experience, and she was particularly impressed by the multimedia work, “Visions Upon the Wall: A Myriad Forms Revealed”. Receiving the meaningful golden Ruyi made this trip to Macau truly unforgettable.

Ms. Pansy Ho, Chairperson and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings Limited, stated, “POLY MGM MUSEUM is committed to pioneering forward-thinking curatorial concepts that blend and juxtapose elements from both ancient and modern times, as well as Chinese and Western cultures. Through distinctive narrative perspectives, we aim to deliver a museum experience that is intellectually enriching, engaging, and appealing to visitors of all ages —  especially younger generations. Welcoming our one millionth visitor is a testament to this vision and strengthens our confidence as we embark on the next exciting chapter of our journey.”
