a unique sculpture museum
At MACAM, we're not just a museum; we're on a mission to bring Art in Lebanon to life! We aim to document, preserve, and share Lebanon's rich art heritage with present and future generations. We're not just about sculptures; we're about creating memories and raising awareness.
Our passion goes beyond art; it's a celebration of life and respect for individuals. We believe in the freedom of conscience, the power of speech, and the magic of creativity and peace. At MACAM, we recognize the profound impact of arts and cultural production on society. Join us in this journey of discovery, where the past meets the present, and creativity knows no bounds. Welcome to MACAM—where every sculpture has a story, and every visitor is part of our artistic family!
Step into our museum, perched on a hill with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and the enchanting Adonis Valley. Our story began in 2013 when two factories—one crafting colored wax crayons and school boards, the other weaving multi-layered craft paper bags—were revitalized and transformed into a vibrant hub of creativity.
Here, you'll discover more than just art—it's an adventure! Wander through the outdoor space, surrounded by nature, or step into the indoor gallery, home to an incredible collection of Lebanese sculptures and installations. The Panorama of Sculpture in Lebanon, our permanent exhibition, unfolds a century of artistic brilliance with over 400 artworks.
MACAM is more than a museum; it's a vibrant creative hub! Join us for art competitions and hands-on workshops for all ages, where creativity knows no bounds. Each visit guarantees a unique journey, thanks to our ever-evolving art collection that invites you to see the world from a fresh and inspiring perspective. Embracing the spirit of creativity, MACAM proudly hosts an art residency program, nurturing inspiration and supporting contemporary productions. Come, be a cherished part of the vibrant art tapestry at MACAM!
