Introduction

Locks are widely used in our everyday lives to protect personal property and privacy. The Macao Science Center presents the first phase of the "Know Your Locks and Keys" exhibition from June to September, showcasing over 160 exhibits. The display features exquisite ancient locks and self-made lock exhibits by the Center. A highlight is the "Lock Escape" experience game, where visitors can challenge themselves to unlock and escape from a room.

The exhibition aims to help visitors understand the structure and mechanical principles of different locks, appreciating the ingenuity of their designers through a variety of ancient and modern locks, models, and interactive exhibits.
