In order to optimize one of the main tourist attractions Taipa Houses-Museum, the Cultural Affairs Bureau carried out renovation and conservation works since the end of this August, including painting the exterior walls, repairing windows and door frame, and installation of lighting in the surrounding areas of the buildings. The works have been completed and three of the houses are open to the public starting from this Saturday, 1 October, with free admission. Five Portuguese buildings of Taipa Houses-Museum were built in 1921, which had been the residences for high superior civil servants and Macanese families. In 1992, the five buildings were recognized as buildings with architectural value. After restoration, the Government transformed them into museums, under the name of “Taipa Houses-Museum”, which were opened to the public in 1999. In order to optimize the surrounding environment of the Taipa Houses-Museum, in the preservation of the original characteristics of the buildings, the Government proceeded further integration of five buildings, creating a multicultural leisure area and building a platform for showcasing the culture of Portuguese-speaking countries and international cultural exchange. The Taipa Houses-Museum are open to the public from 10am to 7pm (no admission after 6:30pm; closed on Mondays). For more information, please contact IC through tel. no. 8988 4000, during office hours.
