About Taipa Houses
They now have different cultural uses, so a visit combines the repeated exterior architecture with selected interiors. The Macanese Living Museum recreates domestic scenes, while Creative Casa brings books and art into another house. The nearby garden and Our Lady of Carmel Church extend the setting beyond the buildings. Check each house’s current access rather than assuming all five contain the same museum display.
What to look for
- Five green Portuguese-style residences create the site’s characteristic row.
- The Macanese Living Museum recreates scenes of domestic life.
