The Tap Seac Gallery was
established with the mission to further public appreciation
for the arts in Macau and to stimulate the creativity of the
local residents. Not only has this institution been able to
accomplish its goal, it has also become an important
showcase for art from abroad.
Inaugurated on December 5, 2003
and run by the Macau Special Administrative Regional
Government’s Cultural Institute, the Tap Seac Gallery hosts
visual arts exhibitions and promotes a series of varied
cultural events.
The gallery contains approximately
400 square metres of exhibition space divided into two
parts, front and back. In the centre of the venue is an
enclosed patio that lets in natural light with a short
flight of steps joining the front and back sections.
The front half is the main
exhibition space, while the back half is used variously for
exhibitions, discussions, lectures or other activities.
The gallery is equipped with
computers connected to the Internet enabling visitors to
access additional information on culture and the arts.
Closed only for the installation
and removal of exhibitions or for building maintenance, the
gallery is open seven days a week throughout the year,
including public holidays.
The Tap Seac Gallery is located at 95 Avenida do
Conselheiro Almeida Ferreira.
The noble cultural venue is housed in an historic
building with a European façade. The earthen-yellow and
brick-red outer walls match wooden louvers, and window tracery
design and the Moorish arched doors form decorated vertical
elements. The two cornices on the front elevation sport
parapets, and top frontispiece pediments give the building a
distinctly European, neo-classical flair.
This large, two-storey detached house and the
buildings that surround it all date from the 1920’s and make up
an integral part of the Tap Seac Historic District.
The building is a typical example of an
upper-class family residence in Macau. After the main house was
built another building was constructed behind it. When the
facility was converted to an art gallery, these buildings were
joined together, but to preserve historic elements, the two
inner walls that originally separated the two structures were
left intact and in place.
