Use Site.GetCatalog method with ListTemplateType.MasterPageCatalog to retrieve Master Page gallery:

var list = context.Site.GetCatalog((int)ListTemplateType.MasterPageCatalog);
context.Load(list);
context.ExecuteQuery();
Console.WriteLine(list.Title);

And then of course /_api/Web/GetCatalog(116) will work as well – eirikb Apr 17 '14 at 09:45

Good.. We could also use Web.GetCatalog for non-publishing and Site.GetCatalog for publishing site collections etc. – thomius Apr 17 '14 at 12:31
