At its heart, a large-scale installation of a giant ball and rackets captures the kinetic energy of the game, while a collaborative art piece, set to be unveiled in mid-October, promises another deft touch.
For the best perspective, visitors can view a striking installation of giant rackets and table laid out on a red floor. While the world's top players trade lightning-fast serves in the Galaxy Arena, visitors can discover an artful take on the game at East Square.Over 40 rare rackets are displayed in cabinets inspired by Macau's iconic Ruins of St. Paul's, showcasing five thematic zones: The Evolution of the Rackets (1900s–1970s), Pioneering Designs (1930s–1940s), Champions' Legacy and Former Athlete-Artists (signed and hand-painted rackets), Global Icons (signed rackets), and Technological Revolution (modern innovations). Together, they tell the story of table tennis as a sport steeped in culture and innovation.
At the heart of the exhibition is a large-scale art installation featuring a giant table and rackets, with dynamic lines made of colourful tape and floating table tennis balls that recreate the speed and energy of the sport. The two oversized rackets represent the sport's signature shakehand and penhold grips – one side hand-painted lettering of "Galaxy" and "Macau", the other composed of real rackets arranged in a creative display.
A forthcoming collaborative art piece, set to be unveiled in mid-October, promises another deft touch. Celebrating the spirit of table tennis through creativity and teamwork, Galaxy's team members will be participating in this performance-based work.
