At some point in history, the government used this venue to recondition, fix, and build ships within the dock mechanical room. Today, it’s one of the newer and more hip art galleries in town where artists from near and far have a chance to exhibit their work.

They also work closely with art organisations to offer art programs and performances. With an inspiring group of creatives behind it, the Macao Contemporary Art Center – Navy Yard No. 1 will surely be a new leader in promoting Macau’s arts and culture.

The Macao Contemporary Art Center—Navy Yard No. 1 is located near Barra Square and opened its doors to the public in 2016. It is pretty isolated from major tourist attractions. Still, it’s worth visiting to see how they successfully and efficiently remodelled the old dockyard, resulting in an incredible art space in the Macao Peninsula’s southwestern end. They kept the look of its facade, which still looks like a dockyard, though its interiors were revamped well.

Art lovers will appreciate visiting the other notable galleries in town, such as the Tap Seac Gallery. It was opened in 2003 by the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government to promote art and culture in Macau. It is one of the most significant galleries here, often hosting international artists’ works.

Other galleries that should be on your list include Art Space, Dare to Dream Art Gallery, Art For All Society, and many more.

The Macao Contemporary Art Center – Navy Yard No. 1 is a historic art venue that should be on your itinerary.
