The Cultural Affairs Bureau will carry out renovation/conservation works at the Taipa Houses-Museum, located at Avenida da Praia, Taipa, from Thursday, 28 July. The works include the partial digging of the surrounding ground of the houses in order to place electrical wires and install lighting equipment, so as to improve the outdoor lighting system, as well as the renovation of the façades of the Macanese House, the House of the Islands and the House of the Portugal Regions. Bamboo scaffolding will be set up to allow for the painting of the walls. The Taipa Houses-Museum will not be affected by the abovementioned works and it will remain open to the public. The works are estimated to be completed in September. For enquiries, please call IC through tel. no. 2836 6866, during office hours.
