Modern & Contemporary Art Museum (MACAM)
About This Museum
Believe it or not, the sprawling home for Lebanon's most forward-thinking art was once a humming tile factory. Tucked away in the mountain village of Aalita, this isn't your typical hushed, white-cube gallery. It’s a place where industrial grit and creative grace collide, inviting you to wander through massive halls that still echo with their past life. You'll find monumental sculptures and bold paintings from artists across the globe, all displayed with a raw, almost tactile energy.
Collection Highlights
Look for towering steel sculptures that seem to dance in the cavernous spaces and vibrant, large-scale canvases that play with light and shadow. The collection feels alive, often featuring site-specific installations that make you see the old factory architecture in a completely new way.
Visitor Information

Architecture & Building
A brilliantly repurposed 20th-century industrial complex, all raw concrete, soaring ceilings, and vast factory floors where machinery once stood.
