Quirky travel: Michael Jackson Gallery at Ponte 16, Macau

The King of Pop’s magic continues to captivate fans despite his premature death last summer. To commemorate the the singer, casino-entertainment resort Ponte 16 recently opened Asia’s first ever Michael Jackson Gallery. The exhibit currenly showcases ten Jackson-related pieces, including his legendary white rhinestone glove (worn while showing off his trademark ‘moonwalk’ for the first time in 1983), and his ‘zombie’ suit from Thriller.
