Taipa Houses–Museum
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
The Taipa Houses–Museum (Chinese: 龍環葡韻住宅式博物館; Portuguese: Casas-Museu da Taipa) is housed in a set of old houses on the south side of Taipa, one of the islands that forms part of Macau, China.[1][2]
The museum complex consists of five houses displaying various artefacts and exhibits.[3] The houses were built in 1921. These colonial residences were restored to recreate houses of well-off Portuguese families living in Macau during the first half of the 20th century. The last house was restored in 1999. The Taipa Houses–Museum opened on 5 December 1999 and is administered by the Macau Civil and Municipal Affairs Bureau.[4]
The houses used to look out over the sea, but due to land reclamation of the Cotai Strip between Taipa and Coloane, they are now next to a small lake.
