MACAM – the Modern and Contemporary Art Museum – is a truly unique non-for-profit organisation dedicated to preserving, documenting and promoting art in Lebanon since 2013. Located in Alita, Jbeil, the dynamic museum used to be a factory complex and is nestled on a hilltop overlooking the picturesque Adonis Valley and the Mediterranean sea.
MACAM is a creative hub that holds art contests, workshops for kids and adults, and temporary exhibitions. It also has an adjacent art residency program.
The permanent exhibition, Panorama of Sculpture in Lebanon, displays over 400 sculptures and installations by renowned artists. The exhibition presents a century of sculpting in Lebanon from Youssef Howayek, the Basbous brothers, and Hussein Madi to contemporary installation art by Nada Sehnaoui, Mario Saba, and Ghassan Ghazal.
