MGM presented a major exhibition of new monumental work by Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos specifically created for the Grande Praça at the heart of MGM MACAU. This latest addition to its visionary art programme reflects on Macau's integral role in the 500 year history of trade between China, Portugal and the rest of the world. It continues in this spirit to promote cultural diverse exchanges that reflect Macau's offer as a cultural destination of world repute.

China’s 5,000 years of civilization reflect the nation’s profound and enduring achievements. Among these are compelling cultural traditions like red sandalwood carvings, a high art form regarded as one of China’s most important. To commemorate the 15th Anniversary of Macau’s Handover to China and to help promote traditional Chinese culture, MGM MACAU was honored to invite representatives of the China Red Sandalwood Museum to present the Red Sandalwood Art Exhibition of Old Beijing City Gates. With the theme of “Creations Across Time”, the exhibits recreated the bygone charm of Beijing through the medium of sublime red sandalwood craftsmanship.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and France in 2014, MGM actively promoted the development of the jubilant arts festival,“Le French May 2014” arts festival in Asia by exclusively sponsoring the Biennial of the Lions, which made its debut appearance in the region. MGM presented 50 colorful, unique lion sculptures dressed elaborately by 50 French and Chinese artists. These artworks were displayed throughout MGM’s public spaces, marking the beginning of a cultural journey inspired by the artistry of the lion.

MGM is proud to inaugurate MGM Art Space with a spectacular exhibition featuring Florentine Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli’s life, legend, legacy and his enduring masterpiece, Venus. With the patronage of the prominent Medici family, Botticelli produced a series of paintings of the Roman goddess of love and beauty. Among them as Venus (ca. 1482), a true Italian work of art, which can be viewed for the first time in Macau at MGM Art Space. The painting is one of the most significant works that came out during the Renaissance period, the golden age of the arts and the epitome of artistic revival.
