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.
Open daily, from 10 am to 7 pm
