Macao Museum of Art

Founded in 1999, the Macao Museum of Art (MAM) houses more than 16,000 artefacts across five storeys, and is the largest space for the displaying of art in Macau. Much of its collection has been inherited from the old Luís de Camões Museum, and visitors can expect to see Chinese calligraphy and paintings, historical pictures, ceramics, photography, modern and contemporary art, and more. Some of the MAM’s most important pieces include Peacock, Pine and Bamboo and Eagles by the Ming dynasty court painter Lin Liang, and Chinese paintings and calligraphy by masters from the Ming and Qing dynasties. There are also painting collections from the likes of Auguste Borget, George Chinnery, António Baptista, and Lamqua.
