Exhibition Gallery
Quietly sitting east of the Luís de Camões Garden is the beautiful colonial villa of Casa Garden, once the headquarters of the British East India Company when it was based in Macau in the early 19th century. Today the villa houses the Oriental Foundation, an organisation that promotes Portuguese culture worldwide, and an exhibition gallery, which houses exhibits of Chinese antiques, porcelain and contemporary art.

Ox Warehouse
Local Chinese artists have their own studios near the Canidrome called Ox Warehouse. Once a slaughterhouse, it is now a colourful quarter for artists and hosts avant-garde installations and performances. Between 3pm and 7pm on the weekends the rest area on the 2nd floor turns into a cafe, serving passable coffee.

Tap Seac Gallery
Housed in a Moorish-style mansion dating back to the 1920s, this gallery is arguably the best place to view contemporary art in Macau, and exhibitions change regularly. Check its website for details. The gallery keeps the original patio in the middle of the house, which creates a light-filled, relaxed setting.
